Roy was a 1968 graduate of Wirt County High School.  He attended Parkersburg Community College, now WVU-P, and Mountain State College.  He worked as a printer and had projects in home construction around the area.  Anyone who talked with Roy quickly found out he was a wealth of knowledge on just about any and all subjects.
