Comments about Royce D. Tramel
Dad... Not a day has gone by that i don't think of you... I only knew you for eight years, yes... But you were always there for me, Whitney, and mom when we needed it most! You were a great man and even though i only knew you for a short term in my life I wished you could have lived! I cry so many times when thinking about you. I cry when i remember all the good times we had together playing baseball in the backyard. I cry and that's all i can do. I'll always remember you and hope i get to see you when i die and then we can be together again and we'll be a happy family like when i was small! You'll always be in my heart father...— Wyatt Tramel
I think of you often Doug. Remember you as a little boy playing baseball with my Rusty and your Dad as Coach. You grew into a remarkable man, father and husband. Your work was so important to all of us and I realize it more as my grandchildren become teenagers. — Polly Welsh Werline
