Our loving Papa went to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, April 21, 
2007, at a local hospital after a long battle with heart and lung disease.

Roy was born October 5, 1938, to J. D. and Elsie Stewart in Buffalo, Texas. 
He was employed by Capacity of Texas Inc. for 23 years before he retired 
because of health problems. He was a member of Macedonia Baptist Church and 
the Adult 7 Sunday school class.

He was Papa to 12 grandchildren, who were the apples of his eye, and to 
whom he gave all loving nick names. He was an avid NASCAR fan and loved 
gardening.

He is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Glenda; one daughter and 
son-in-law, Tom and Karen Wills; three sons and daughters-in-law, Roy and 
Stephanie, Darrell and Pam, all of Union Grove, and Jay and Candice of 
Longview; 12 precious grandchildren, Shelby, Dakota and Dalton Wills, 
Tausha, Josh and Krystal, Haley and Corey, Caleb, Alexis, Cadi and soon to 
be born, Abbigail DeeLynn; one sister, Helen Oldag of Sealy; three brothers, 
Glynn of Garrison, Paul of Shreveport, and Robert of Texas City; and many 
nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, mother and one sister, Florence Poe.

The family would like to thank Dr. Henry and Dr. Elhalwagi and all the sweet 
nurses at Good Shepherd Medical Center for their special care.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Macedonia Baptist Church Building 
Fund, 4656 Page Rd., Longview, Texas 75605.
