Dearest Marilyn & Irene,
Roy has been a part of our lives since we moved here in 1997. He spent countless hours throughout Sarah's infancy and childhood spending time with her and patiently entertaining her with games and his undivided attention.He was her Grandpa next door. I enjoyed spending time talking with Roy about his full and interesting adventures through life. He was a beautiful, kind, generous and loving man. Since he couldn't drive and depended on you to get around, he would sneak over to ask me to get his "Tuzzie" a card or chocolate for various occasions. He loved you so much.Irene, you were the most amazing daughter a father could ask for. You were Roy's pride, joy and "Daddy's little girl," always making sure he was happy, comfortable and taken care of. I have so many great memories of Roy sitting with Al, with me, you, Peggy and sweetest of all, Zora (the pitbull)! He will be missed terribly, but I feel blessed to have had him as a significant part of my life.

Mrs. Oman, the first time my husband and I met your husband was many years ago at a picnic at the Neers'. We shared pictures and had a wonderful conversation. I immediately knew that I was talking with a man that was genuine. His interest in the conversation was so sincere. Both my husband and I liked him immediately. When someone can leave such a positive impression on the first meeting, he is truly special.
Irene, you have shared so many stories about your dad throughout the years. From these stories I understood fully how much your dad loved your mom and you. And when you had your retirement party, he was beaming for "the apple of his eye". His love and pride for you were obvious to anyone who was watching him. The smile never left his face throughout your speech.
The sadness of the passing of your husband and your dad is felt by many.
May the special love that has been shared amongst the three of you give you strength at this time. And knowing that friends share in your sadness be of comfort to you.
Love,
Joey and Jo DiVico

Dear Marilyn and Irene,
Words cannot express the sadness I have with the passing of Roy. He was a loving and gentle man who cherished his family and friends. I will miss him deeply.
I've heard it said that "A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others." Knowing the type of man Roy was, I know he's loved by many and rightfully so. I also know that he's now being cradled in the loving hands of God for ever more.
With deepest love and admiration...

The friendship which we have shared over many years is truly treasured. We first met your dad years ago at a get-together with many friends, but your father's genuine smile and sense of humor have been amongst the fondest memories. Our last meeting was when you all came to dinner at our house after your retirement. My parents still remark about the wonderful visit they had with all of you. We will never forget your dad's quick wit and warm conversations.
On behalf of our entire family, please accept our heartfelt sympathy and prayers.

"Uncle" Roy was a dear friend to many of us. I have wonderful memories of him while growing up on Grantwood Ave. on Staten Island. He was a true Christian - gentle, kind, and devoted. It was my privilege to have known him and all who knew him were truly blessed. My deepest sympathies are with his beloved wife, Aunt Marilyn, and precious daughter, Aunt Renie.

I have always had incredible fondness for my Uncle Roy as well as love and respect. His gentle smile and kind heart warmed anyone he came in contact with. It was a pleasure to spend time with him over the years whether shared holidays, picnics in NJ or Staten Island or a visit to Florida. He was a very important part of my father's life from the time they were young cousins. My dad adored Uncle Roy and considered him a big brother more than cousin. They both shared a love of accounting and exuded a spirit of kindness and consideration to everyone around them.
Uncle Roy was blessed with a wonderful wife in my Aunt Marilyn whom he treasured on a daily basis. He was given the gift of a loving daughter in my cousin Rene whom he cherished and delighted in. My whole family is extending our condolences and reaching out with hugs from all. I was so happy to have had the opportunity to spend some time with all the Omans 2 yrs ago in Florida and grateful that my children were able to meet him. My son brought out the "toss Up" game the other day day to honor uncle Roy who taught us the game during our visit. We are paying forward Uncle Roy's love of family and joy by playing the game together.
We send our love to Aunt Marilyn and cousin Rene from the Benson Fanklin Family.
