Roy bought the farm his wife grew up on in the town of Hammel. Together they farmed until her death in 1971 of cancer.  They had four children:  Frank, Carol (Lekies), Peter and Mary (Dall).  In his spare time, he enjoyed fly fishing.

In addition to farming, Roy served on the board of directors for the Medford Cooperative, Taylor Electric Cooperative, The Dairyland Power Board, ASCS, and Our Saviour’s Church Council. In 2009    Roy received the employee excellence award from the Medford Area Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to his parents, Roy was preceded in death by his wife Mabel, his sister Annette, and daughter Mary. He is survived by his children, Frank, Carol (Gordon) Lekies, and Peter.  Surviving grandchildren include Joshua Jaslowski, Dr. Angela Brost D.D.S., Christopher Brost, Amy Brost and 8 great grandchildren.
