Roy was a long time resident of Channahon.
He had a grateful heart and considered so many things as "prizes" in life whether it was ship collectables, dollar bills with lucky serial numbers, his precious "Cat" or Cadillacs. But his greatest love was people, he never met a stranger, only friends that he hadn't met yet. He enjoyed being "master barbecuer" and pork chop cooker at the many parties he hosted for family and friends. Roy surrounded himself with music he was especially fond of Pink Floyd. NASCAR was another source of connecting with others. Sharing the experience of camping and fishing for days together with friends as he traveled the country to attend races. Life was a journey for Roy whether it was seeing the world as a deck hand on those big beautiful ships or trekking the country as a teamster truck driver, it was all embraced with passion and compassion. Your light and love will warm our hearts forever.
