He took great pride and enjoyment in his extended family and their gatherings on the family farm in “the Hills” that he knew and loved.  In later years, Roy’s grandchildren and dogs became the object of his doting affection and amusement, along with reading and playing cards with his wife and friends. Roy wove his sense of humor and good nature into a full and beautiful life surrounding us all.           

        Preceded in death by his infant daughter Kimberly, parents; Twila and Clinton, in laws; Julia and Gus Yogmour Sr, sister-in-law Randi, and brother-in-law Don.
