"All I can tell you is, that he is as passionate about being on the mound as he was as a husband and a father. A more special person and athlete we could not have had here in Philadelphia."

"I vividly remember waiting to congratulate him, frankly because of the way he handled the media after his no-hitter in the playoffs.
And Roy thanked me for waiting around. That's just the way he was."
Charlie Manuel
Charlie Manuel: "After the game, he'd say, 'Guess how many times I had to shake Chooch off?'

"And I'd say, I don't know how many?
"And he'd go, none!'"
Charlie Manuel: "In closing, Roy is not only a friend of mine -- I look at him like a younger brother. He's a real good friend of mine and I'm gonna miss him. And I'm very sorry for his family, because I know what he meant to them." #RIPDoc
