In Memoriam: Roy Cleveland

Long-time ag marketing researcher Roy Cleveland died on March 6.

He struggled for more than a month to overcome the effects of a heart attack he suffered while driving home from his office in St. Louis, MO. Cleveland had endured a chronic lung condition for a number of years and this, in combination with his heart attack, led to his death.
