Roy's life was all about family, friendships and his love of travel. Roy was married to his sweetheart, Nancy, for 68 years before she passed away.

Roy was a natural athlete and enjoyed basketball, 16" softball, snow skiing and racketball - he would surprise many younger athletes with his abilities.
