Saw were Mr Roy passed.I remember going to his place in the early 90"s to drop a horse off for Gary to ride. Now Gary wanted us to drop and go. Mr Roy on the other hand wanted us to drop and stay a spell. So Gary is sitting on my mare waiting for Mr. Roy to turn calves out for him ....mean while Mr Roy has Dr Kirk and myself out in the yard throwing a baseball bat into a pecan tree. Everytime we would throw the bat up into the tree Mr. Roy would holler "Look at the pecans". After we gathered pecans, Gary was thinking I hope these boyz head back to Mississippi but Mr Roy takes us into the arena and say" Get you a tie rope and lets tie a few. Gary is just about to blow his lid but he gets down and put a calf on the end of the rope. You can imagine how nervous Dr Kirk and myself were with these two guys watching us. Dr Kirk runs down the rope throws a wrap and a slap on one and Mr Roy hollers "wrap and a hooey get away boyz". Now I'm up to bat. I run down the rope flank and short wrap one throw my hands stand up and Mr Roy Asked "who taught you how to tie like that" I said I taught myself. he replied " well that explains it then" lol Dr KIrk and I had thought we made the big time.

Roy loved to visit and talk about horses & roping. As nice a man as there ever was. Always had something positive to say to everyone. Known the Johnsons all my life.
