This is sad news. Roy had been a member of PBS from it's very beginning and frequently donated alstroemeria seed to the BX. I never had the opportunity of meeting him, but in correspondence, he was wise, articulate, and kind.

Subject: [pbs] Roy Sachs - a longtime member of PBS passed away this week.
"He touched a lot of people and the man you knew was the man everyone knew.
He presented one face and was extremely genuine. There are not many people
who had/have as much honesty, integrity, and overall intellect as he
did/does ("have/does" are used because that is my spiritual opinion).
We all are missing him because there was a daily banter via email and phone
with weekly gatherings with him (two to three times was a good week but one
was the minimum) with his 5 kids and grandkids (14).
This is his obituary which explains a lot of who and what he was about. It
was written by his oldest, Kerry Sachs."
Roy has been my friend and mentor these past few years. It was a pleasure to know him.
