He would want us to remember him as he lived, full of piss and vinegar and always good for a joke or 2. He found humor in just about any situation.

My condolence to Roy Mills family, I am a co-worker of Roy from his time in Kosovo. World was a better place with Roy in it, I know he is home now and heaven is even that much better with him.
Our world is forever changed with the loss of Uncle Roy! Loved him the first time I met him at Grandma’s house. Funny, full of laughter, a hugger, so sweet and all around good man. His battle is over and I agree with all the posts, he is resting in Heaven. Catching up with his Maker, his Parents, His wife, Barbara, and both his Sisters who went before him.
My heart is broken with his loss. I am sending all my thoughts and prayers to, Cynthia, Kristen, and Trampus, all of his brothers, nieces, nephews, and all of his friends.
All my love to you all, Mills Family.
I met Roy in Baghdad back in 2010. He was a very nice, funny and professional man. We would go to the DFAC together, sit and talk for hours during the day.
It was a pleasure to meet him and work with.
Rest in Peace Roy. You will be missedste
I am so sorry for your loss of your father, your brother, your grandfather, and friend. Roy Allen made this world better with his presences and I am so glad to call him Cousin and friend. He is no longer hurting and he is again happy to be with the others that went before him. He will live on in all our memories.
Roy Allen was one of the funnest men I have ever known. He loved his children a lot and was a hard working, honest man. He also was a great brother in law. I am sure he is going to missed for a long time. May God bless all the family.
