Life and Death of Roy Braswell

13 Dec 2018

Roy Braswell was my dear friend, he owned Electrical Surplus Of Texas Inc. He was was one of the few people who gave me a hand during my dark time of homelessness. He is was what we call a mensch. He passed away in his sleep, last night just past 6 pm. Roy increased my lexicon by adding moeron, it is like a moron on steroids. Like the time when a guy came into the shop and asked for a breaker:

(Roy) How can we help you?

(customer) I need a circuit breaker.

(Roy) Do you know the size and manufacture?

(customer) No.

(Roy) Do you have a picture?

(customer) No. (he leaves)

(me) LOL, that's funny. He is going to get himself killed.  Do you get many like that?

(Roy) Yup! Cris that is what we call a Moeron!

Roy had been fighting several types of cancer for the last 5 or 6 years. Roy was a Great Grandfather, with a large extended family. He liked Willy Nelson's Angles flying to close to the ground.
