My condolences to the Hokrein family. It was definitely soon for him to depart this world. Roy was a kind a gentle colleague for the past 30 years. I knew him from early days of 90s and later on at Pax where we worked in the same building and saw eachother in the passing. He will be missed!

Condolences to all of Roy’s family, friends and colleagues. I had the pleasure to work with Roy at NESEA in St. Inigoes in the early 90’s, and would occasionally cross paths out at Patuxent River in the years since.
