I used to run into him all the time at the AMC PI when they were filming SeaQuest down here. He was at the movies nearly every weekend. He always seemed nice on the set of SQ too. They filmed at Sea World right behind where I performed as a puppeteer and they frequently had catered food left over after filming that they offered us. He and many of the other cast members would always say hello if you passed them in the back areas of the park.

I enjoyed Sea Quest. I always wondered where they filmed that. Yes, this is a sad passing, but now he can join Quint and discuss other ways of killing sharks...

Sorry to hear about Roy.
I downloaded the short version of the Jaws theme music as my incoming email alert.
