Pop Santmyer & Mom Santmyer will always have a special place in my heart. When I moved to Moore’s Crossing after losing my Father, it was a little scary for me. Living in a new town and having new neighbors made me feel a little anxious. After a week or two Pop & Mom were outside one day and I went over and introduced myself. After talking with them I knew I had made the right decision to move there. They both were so warm, kind, and loving. We became very good friends & family. I thought of them as my adopted grandparents , and their children welcomed me in as family as well. As time went on they moved to Virgina with their son Tommy, I truly missed them so much, wasn’t quite sure what to do with myself. I stayed in touch with them and their family, I was able to visit with them when they came to Delaware. We talked every week over the phone. I will truly miss our weekly phone calls. Though we love others with all our Heart, we must remember God loves them best. I am praying for family for Peace and Comfort Love Vanessa
Roy was such a great person and a dedicated son to his mother who he visited several times a week and Marge volunteered in activities. He always had a smile on his face. May your family be comforted at this time of loss.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Roy. My Mom and Dad as well as myself always had a special place in our lives for the Santmyer family. My Dad met and worked with Roy at GPO and were fast friends there after as well as both families. Bowling, golf, and the summer vacation golf trips were always fun for all of us. I had the pleasure of bowling on the same team with both Roy and Marge on the Monday morning bowling league when my Dad, Roy, and myself all worked the night shift at GPO. Great fun! Roy was a true "gentleman" and I always enjoyed my interactions with Roy. You could not help but like Roy, he was that nice of a person. He will be missed. My deepest condolences to the family. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Very nice couple that helped out in our radiology department…Roy always had a smile and candy for us. They will be fondly remembered by Beebe employees. To Marge, I am so sorry to hear Roy passed away. Prayers for you to be at peace, knowing you will be with him again, as Our Heavenly Father has promised. 🙏🌟
Miss seeing Roy and Marge volunteering at Beebe. They worked in radiology. Always together. sorry for your loss! Kathi Frying
