Phyllis, you and Royce have made a notable and positive impact on my life. I could go well beyond the 1000 words just reflecting on golf with Royce over the years but the special way you and Royce greeted your friends when dining at your wonderful restaurants is also etched in my memory. My heartfelt memories are with you and your family, Royce will never be forgotten by myself and so many others who were fortunate enough to have spent time with him...he was one of the most memorable people I have ever known. May peace be with you.

I want to send my sympathies to your Family we recently lost our Mother. She was a past employee of your restaurant, Trudi Anzer. We have been cleaning out her home and found a couple of painting of Royce that she has been storing since you closed the restaurant. If you would like to have those painting please let me know and we can arrange for a pick-up.

Dear Phyllis, Kyle and Kevin I hope you still get these messages. Though I have lost touch with the years, I have always considered you all family. Royce took me on as his caddy when I was thirteen years old, just after my father had died. He promised me a job at Royce's at 15, which led to a career in the restaurant business. I have now owned my second restaurant for sixteen years. Over twenty years ago I began a journey as a writer of novels. Strength and Grace, my first book, which released a month ago, was conceived on a five-week trip and 5000 miles of driving in Mexico. Fifteen years and eleven rewrites later, I had my first polished novel. I had also fallen hopelessly in love with the art of writing. The last seven years I have found myself in a zone every artist dreams to discover. A place where the connection to art is so profound that the ups and downs of life only add a rich depth to the artwork—rather than a harmful distraction. My third novel, to be released in 2016 is named Omar T in Monterey. This is a start to a series of Novels with Omar, each in a different location (the second is in San Diego). Omar's family restaurant, Royce's is named after Royce, honoring your family's influence on my life. The advance copy will be available soon. It details the connection to the name Royce in both the beginning acknowledgements and the ending glossary. By the end of 2016 I expect to have ten completed works of fiction, including more Omar T books. My wife passed away a year and a half ago, which has dedicated me even more to my art of writing. My mistress, my Apple Macbook Air, has become such a part of my life that I have named her (Zoe). I do hope this message makes its way to you and that you are all in good health. Please pass on contact information so that I can keep you informed of my writing and especially the book that never would have been written, if it wasn't for Royce and all of you. Blessings and love to you and all the members of your family. Deamer Dunn, 435 Pajaro St., Salinas CA 93901, deamer@artbz.bz, (831) 783-1235.

Dear Phyl. Kyle, and Kevin: I just ran across this today, and thought I’d put in my 2cents worth. So many memories of Royce. Shaggin balls for him, Cadding for him, and then working on highland drive at Royce’s. Later on playing golf with him in the Dunn game. We always won when Royce was my partner. The worlds best short game. Someone once asked me if you had to bet your life on an 8 foot putt who would you want to do it. Hands down Royce. I hope you three are well. Love, Tony
