No one can ever know the experiences and joy we enjoyed in this world as the mischievous two (tricky and roy), connected at the soul since birth.”
“It’s true that there was never a dull moment when we were together,” he said. May you continue to bring contagious joy to all who are in your presence right now and may you rest in peace. Troy Beckwith, my dearest friend.
