I studied with Roy from 1979 to 1982, he and Mary even came to my wedding in 1981. I spent many weekends at his house in Ossening. He was a great cook and taught me how to crack garlic, a technique I use to this day. I think the most important lesson I learned from Roy was to know what I was doing wrong with my chops and how to correct it. I didn\'t know what a triple G was, until I met him, now I every time I play one I can\'t help but think of him. I miss you. Nicky Hoffman Beechko
