Roy worked many places over the years from managing at various Midas/CarX locations to eventually returning home to open his own auto repair business. When he closed up shop he went to work at the VA as a nursing assistant where he worked until he retired.

Roy loved witty banter and was sure to keep you on your toes with his spunky playful personality. He really enjoyed camping and spending time outside.

Roy had a loving and caring personality,  and you could always recognize him by his strong personality. He will be deeply missed by his wife Erika and all that knew and loved him.
