After graduating from Rockville High School in 1950, he helped out on the farm for a couple years, until he was drafted into the Army during the Korean War.

He was a barber for four years working downtown Kansas City. Following that, he went to work for Brinks Inc., where he drove and messengered for over 37 years. He retired in 1997.

Roy married Martha Jo Stiegemeyer in Concordia, Missouri on May 7, 1966. 2016 marked their 50th anniversary. To this union, one son was born, Nicholas William.

Roy loved to fish and hunt, especially deer. Every year during deer season he would take a week of vacation to spend in his blind. He also enjoyed cars and working on them. Having a garden every year was also important. He also loved his kitty-cats, which occupied a lot of his time after retirement.
