William Robert Roy, also known as Bill Roy, was a United States Representative from Kansas, a physician, and a columnist for The Topeka Capital-Journal. Dr. Roy passed away last week and his memorial service is being held later this morning at First United Methodist Church here in Topeka.
The death of Bill Roy stirs memories. Years ago I was singing at a big gathering where our Congressman was speaking. I hadn't met him, had voted for him, and was looking forward to hearing him. I started carrying in my huge P.A., and a fellow jumped up to help, and that is how I met this great public servant! Years later we were both in the Keystone Sunday School class at First United Methodist Church. We will miss Dr. Roy and his column in the Topeka Capital Journal.
