He pulled over a speeder along side of our garage. We overheard him telling the driver to slow down because the lady that lived in that house (pointing to our home and referring to me) is complaining about the speeding and let her go with a warning. That was the extent of their investigation
On Monday, speeding was at an all time high on Main Street and I commented to my husband Ralph, that sadly, until someone got killed they weren't going to do anything about this situation. Tuesday morning, my nephew by marriage, was killed and his riding buddy injured while they were riding their bikes on Trenton and Main...five blocks from our home. It was early in the morning, they had their flashing red lights as they rode. A ride they had been doing every morning. Roy, 32, was an avid cyclist and would raise money for several charities with his bike. Then someone hit them from behind and kept on going.
When I first meet Roy, the first impression I got from this beautiful young man was his kindness, his beautiful smile, and that he loved my niece, Lorena, dearly. He was so full of life and was so happy having started a new job a month prior...Roy was an architect. Lorena and Roy were getting ready to celebrate their 2nd wedding anniversary October 25th.

(Roy was a twin. He is survived by his wife, Lorena, his mother, Kathy Carlson and two brothers, Jorge and Andrew. He was working on his Masters, which he would have completed in December.)
