Royal was famous for ending his conversations with "I'll hollar black at you" and "Ugh nah nah nah!" His gesture was to always raise the roof with his hands. Oh no, him behind a wheel of the brown truck, watch out! Royal had a great sense of humor, but don't get him started cursing in German. He was so funny.  Above all spending time with his nieces, nephews and family is what he enjoyed the most.
