I'm devastated.

Roy and I have carried on a lively though sporadic email and Mudcat conversation for years. (Started because I live in Nottingham, New Hampshire USA and he's from Nottingham, England.) I think it was the last time he was in the US, he later let me know he'd passed close enough to see the Nottingham sign on the highway, but, alas, we weren't able to get together to meet in person.

This is a very hard loss for me, though not as hard as what Elaine is going through. My heart and sincere condolences go out to her and the family.
