As you can see that post was dated in Oct of lastyear, I had no idea he had passed. That old man gave them hell, but was funny in his own way. R.I.P. Roy. :(

I saw the episode too. I knew that Roy had been ill for some time, but I was completely shocked to hear Boyd say that he passed away. The first thing I thought was how sad Lee would be when hearing the news, because they were great partners. But Lee took it well, and was back to smiles the day of the unveiling.
This is probably why there have been no new American Hotrod episodes for some time. It's too bad, Roy was great at his work, and he will be truely missed among all of us American Hotrod fans, to be sure. God bless you Roy Schmidt.

That sucks. Even though I know the sob is where he wants to be now, he will be missed on the show.
