                  RECOGNIZING RICHARD (DICK) L. ROYER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. STEVE STIVERS

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 14, 2016

  Mr. STIVERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Richard (Dick) L. 
Royer, who passed away on May 27, 2016 at the age of 77. Royer was an 
MAI appraiser and realtor who also served as President of the Columbus 
Realtors, The Ohio Association of Realtors, and the Columbus Rotary 
Club for significant portions of his lifetime.
  Royer was born in 1938 in Canton, Ohio, where he attended Canton 
Lehman High School. He earned his degree from The Ohio State University 
College of Business in 1962, and soon after, joined the real estate 
company Kohr and Kohr where he would spend his entire business career. 
Over 50 years later, the firm still operates today as Kohr, Royer, 
Griffith Inc. (KRG). Royer's service to the real estate industry in 
Columbus was fueled by his love for the city.
  Outside of KRG, Royer held many offices and board positions over the 
years. He served as President of the local Appraisal Institute Chapter 
and was an active member at the King Avenue United Methodist Church in 
Columbus. Royer was a resident of the suburb Upper Arlington, which he 
cherished as his home and held as high in his heart as he did the City 
of Columbus.
  There is no doubt of the enormous legacy Dick Royer has left behind 
on the real estate industry and the greater Columbus community. I'm 
extremely grateful for his service to our city and state.
