Thank you for sharing this, Paula. Roy reached out to me when I was running cookbooks at Amazon and he was still at Clarkson Potter. We stayed in touch for awhile and he invited me to my first official NYC book party at a posh apartment on the Upper East Side (it was a lifestyle/entertaining tome) when I was in town for Book Expo. Loved his book TASTY so very much. He will be missed.
I 'knew of' Roy, but did not know him. That said, these touching tributes are some of the finest writing I have read in a very, very long time. Thank you all for capturing so vividly your impressions of someone that I intend to "get to know" belatedly through his writing and work. May his legacy -- and your tributes -- live on to inspire writers, designers and many others.
