Sad news

Post by BillyB »

This message was passed on to members of the American Iris Society by John Jones (AIS Board of Directors).

"It is with great sadness that I am letting you know that the American Iris Society President, Dr. E. Roy Epperson, passed away suddenly last weekend.
It goes without saying that Roy will be greatly missed not only by those of us who knew him and worked with him for many years, but also by many others in the world of iris.

Services for Dr. Epperson are as follows:

Visitation on Thursday, January 28 at 5:30 pm at High Point University, 833 Moutlieu Ave., High Point, NC.

Funeral on Friday, January 29 at 11 am at Christ United Methodist Church, 1300 N. College Drive, High Point, NC.


In lieu of flowers, donations in Roy's memory may be made to the American Iris Society General Fund."

Please pray for his family,

Billy
