Roy's son Marty called me with the sad news and sent me the above information.
Could someone help me get this printed in the ACF bulletin or give contact information .
Roy requested his family see this was posted and printed.
Roy was a good griend and mentor I played him for the first time in 1977 at his house.
He beat me like a drum and still enjoyed beating me to the very last. Good bye old friend.

What do you like about checkers?: Checkers is a game of pure logic.

RIP Roy Little. Many of us know Roy as a long term contributor to the Unofficial World Championship Checker Problem Composing Contests. Roy Little won 22 of them, and he is the current winner with his entry Rainbow in Contest 57.

My sincere sympathy to his family and friends.

Respectfully,
