 After chatting with Jason (Pop’s grandson) for a few weeks, I was able to link up with Pop and Nan at their home in Longview and, of course, I brought some of his favorites --- ice-cold Dr Pepper.

Joe Mack Roy, known lovingly as ‘Pop’ from Pop Watch to people across the globe, has passed away. This according to CBS 19, where his granddaughter works. 

While his videos were mostly created in Longview and other towns in East Texas, people found it easy to connect with pop no matter where they lived. He had hilarious jokes or funny sayings, but he also had a no-nonsense approach that most of us remember from our grandparents; it was easy for us to feel like he was almost like a new grandparent.

The way the Roy family has opened themselves up to the world is incredible, and we’re so fortunate to have learned about Pop and the wonderful man he was.

It was a day I will remember forever, being able to meet Pop and Nan and their son Billy was a real honor. Getting a picture and chatting for a few minutes showed me how genuine and kind the whole family is, and I will cherish that time.

Life is Going Fast 

As we remember a Texas Legend, Joe Mack Roy, let this be a reminder for all of us. Reach out to loved ones we haven’t chatted with in a while. Call your grandparents or parents if they are still around, tell them that you love them. 

Pop, all I can say is thank you. Thank you for being you. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You have all your fans that promise to help watch over your lovely bride Nan and the rest of your family if they need anything.  

Joe Mack Roy Known as Pop from Pop Watch Always Doing Good For Longview, Texas    Thank you for reminding the world how much we should respect and appreciate our elders and grandparents in society. You and Pop sent a wonderful message to the world! Prayers to your family!

Goodbye Pop. Thanks to the Roy family for sharing this incredible man. He always brightened my day when y’all posted the adventures. Rest In Peace.

Pop will never be forgotten. He will be with you in Spirit and Love. Y’all showed him more love than most men ever get. The love was there. Continue sharing his videos because we’re going to miss him now. It’s Nan’s turn to put in the spot light. We love her too.

I loved watching the videos. I was heart broken when I saw that pop had passed . I will miss him for sure. God bless his family . RIP Pop.

My prayers for your family's loss of a great treasure. "Pop" bought smiles and laughter to us all . I would have liked to have visited with him in person.....we will ALL miss this great man.
