Roy William Cinowalt

My heart was broken after hearing that Roy had passed away. I first met Roy when he and Kathy were dating, maybe 45 yrs ago at his lovely 2 story Spanish style home in Pasadena or near there. My first impression of Roy was that my friend, Kathy, looked very happy and Roy had contributed to that. I was impressed! He was cordial, had a good sense of humor and liked to talk. Not long after that visit I was honored to be a guest at their wedding reception. They made a lovely-looking couple and I could see the love they shared for each other, it was special. They enjoyed each others company and did so much together. Whether it was their love of gardening, athletics, traveling, or just sitting at home relaxing, they were meant to be with each other. When I visited Roy and Kathy at their beautiful house in SLO, Kathy explained that Roy had converted the front portion of the yard for a place where the "cloggers" could practice their dancing. Again I was impressed that he would do that for the clogging dance group. Nice guy, good guy, especially thoughtful husband was he for sure. On a visit to their beautiful home in Templeton I could see the pride he had in his homes, how meticulously he worked to get it just right which either he did himself (he was always busy doing something), or having hired someone to put beams up on the ceiling to add that extra special touch that he might have thought of. Yes, Roy was a specual man, a loving husband father and grandfather. All of the pictures posted says it all. OH, AND SO MUCH OF THAT BEAUTIFUL MANE OF SILVER-WHITE HAIR! Yes, Roy was very impressive after all he made my very good friend, Kathy, happy. Roy is a man I was proud and lucky to have known. Rest in Heavenly Peace Roy and may Our Lord welcome you with his loving arms around you. Kathy, Eric and Family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Gerry Chavez Yniguez
