Yesterday we got the news that Roy Halladay died in a plane crash.
2012 07 21 Roy Halladay at Photo Day
While the circumstances are horrible, it was good to hear all the reports of what a terrific person Roy Halladay was off the field. He appeared to be enjoying his post playing career spending time with his family and friends. During a press conference yesterday Cole Hamels showed tremendous poise, articulately discussing Halladay as a Mentor, Ballplayer and Friend.
For out tribute to Roy Halladay I went with a picture of him from the Phillies 2012 Photo Day rather than a card. After hearing so many folks talk about how great Halladay was as a person, I wanted to note the person rather than the ballplayer.
Here is an index of the many Roy Halladay postings that have appeared on Phungo. The NLDS No-Hitter in 2010 will always be one of my favorite sports memories, you can see some pix and read a few of my thoughts here.
Blogs are not as active as they were at one time, but I will be adding the Roy Halladay tributes to this posting as they arrive.

Thank you including a link to my brief tribute. Halladay was always one of my favorite non-Cubs and I actively admired him. Life is a precious, but fragile, thing.
