             IN HONOR OF STATE REPRESENTATIVE ROGER P. ROY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL N. CASTLE

                              of delaware

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 21, 2006

  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor and pleasure that I 
rise today to pay tribute to State Representative Roger P. Roy, who 
after 30 years of service has chosen not to seek another term in the 
State House of Representatives. This extraordinary man is undoubtedly a 
valuable asset to the State of Delaware and a friend to all. He has 
been described as not only a compassionate and accomplished citizen, 
but also an admirable leader. An enduring professional representing his 
beloved Limestone Hills-area district, he truly is a distinguished 
Delawarean.
  In addition to serving his district, he serves as the Chairman of the 
influential State Bond Bill Committee, where his leadership has been 
instrumental in the Committee's sound financial management, earning 
Delaware's bonds the highest rating. Representative Roy has also worked 
to protect Delawareans, authoring the State's version of Megan's Law 
and sponsoring legislation that requires registered sex offenders to 
have their status indicated with a designation on their driver's 
license. Currently serving as the Executive Director of the 
Transportation Management Association of Delaware, he has worked to 
bring innovative transportation solutions to the State.
  As his 15 consecutive terms in office acutely demonstrate, he is well 
recognized and respected by his constituents and colleagues. He 
actively participates in the community through sponsorship of youth 
athletic teams, American Legion Post #29, and by serving on the Board 
of Directors of the Central YMCA and the Mid-County Senior Center.
  I congratulate State Representative Roger P. Roy for his years of 
remarkable service and countless contributions to the State. I am sure 
that as he begins to spend more time with his wife, Paula, their two 
daughters, Michele and Tanya, and their grandchildren, he will remain 
an integral member of the community. I would like to thank him for the 
many contributions he has made to the State of Delaware.
