Does anyone know if someone is taking over Roy's business?
For what it is worth, since when I met him when he was all of eight years old, his name was and remains Michael, not Mike. But he is too polite to correct those who use the short form. How about we all use the name he prefers, namely 'Michael'?
I assumed that the business was still an on-going affair, but I'm gathering that is not the case. That is really too bad. I didn't know Roy, but I was amassing a list of parts to purchase. I'm late to this hobby, but it seems there are a lot of great people who have passed on since I joined this forum. I hope there is enough interest to keep the hobby alive for generations to come as this about as American as baseball and hotdogs.
You can call me Craig or you can call me Craigey, just please don't call me late to Dinner!
Mike, Mikey (as roy called me), or the proper Michael all work for me. Sometimes my wife gives me additional names like “nerd”, or “hoarder”, and on rare occasions she names me “idiot”. The best name in the world that only one person can use is when my sweet daughter calls me daddy.
As for the original topic at hand regarding Roys hardware business..... stayed tuned. I’d imagine there will be some answer to the original question sooner than later
