He was a graduate of Tunkhannock Area, class of 1978. He was an avid archery and rifle hunter, loved his "hot-rods", "hogs", dirt bikes, and music.

Roy was a 25 year member of the Penton Owners Group and lifetime member of the NRA and the North American Hunting Club. He loved spending time with his children, close friends, along with his three grandsons Cole Knight, Austin Gottstein, and William Carey, where he spent time fishing, jamming in his basement, and spreading his wisdom of life, love and all its importance.

He will be remembered for his amazing kindness and always helping those in need. He will be dearly missed by all.
