All Queen really says with regards to Halladay was that A) if he overthinks, he often runs into trouble (which is something I've never seen disputed) and B) that he tore into him verbally, as part of the rebuilding process. That second part is also common knowledge, as Queen's repeated the story, and given Halladay credit for sticking it out and persevering during this process, before, such as to Geoff Baker.

I'm confused as to why you think Halladay would not be mourning Queen's death.

Sad news.

I met Mel back in 2009 and interviewed him for Da Box.  He didn't appear to have an ongoing relationship with Roy.

BB: So every time you see him in the spring does he buy you a big steak?

MQ: You know I don't think I have seen him in person since we did the work in Knoxville. 

You're right. I drew too broad a conclusion.

The part of the article i referred to reads "According to Queen, Halladay can’t remember the last thing you told him. “You put too much in his head, and nothing sticks.” Some may take offence at that.

I'm not sure Halladay would, although my guess is as good as yours. Verducci's profile of Halladay focused in part on how Halladay clears his mind before each start and he's commonly known for his intense, somewhat solitary, demeanour. Queen's statements may have been blunt, but others who have profiled Halladay have drawn similar conclusions, albeit implicitly.
