Roy made his profession of faith in Christ early in his life and attended Garfield Avenue Church of God for as long as his health allowed.
In his spare time he enjoyed frog gigging, watching westerns on television, and caring for his lawn. His family was very important to him and he especially enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Roy was a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate his life and his accomplishments and know that his family and friends will treasure the wonderful memories he made for them during his seventy years.
