I am sorry to learn of Roy's passing. I served with him in the US Army at Ft. Lewis WA, 1st BN 11th FA. He was my Platoon Sergeant and I remember him as a calm, confident and nurturing leader. It was sometimes confusing to others in the Battery because we had 3 soldiers in the platoon whose last name started with an A, Aguirre, Arwaki, and Akioka. I'm sure he will be missed by all who knew him.
I knew Roy through bowling. We were not real close but he would always take a moment to say hi to me and ask how I was doing whenever our paths crossed. He seemed like a genuinely good person. I was sad to hear of his passing.
