Roy's true passion was fishing.  He held numerous citations in nearly every freshwater species in Virginia where he lived prior to moving back to the Mississippi Gulf Coast after his father died in 2003.  After returning to the coast, Roy quickly honed his skills in saltwater and became an avid speckled trout and redfish sportsman.  His many other retirement hobbies included making costume jewelry, karaoke, and dance.
His loving spirit, amazing intellect, sense of humor, and abundant generosity will be forever treasured by his daughter, his two brothers, his nephews and nieces, great nephews and nieces, and countless friends.  He will also hold a special place in the heart of the selfless medical and facility staff that worked tirelessly to bring joy and dignity to his final years.
The graveside service will be held on Friday, May 10, 2019 at 3:00 PM at St. Joseph Cemetery at Rotten Bayou.
