Roy was a Master Electrican and retired from ACIPCO after 43 years of service, where he held the position of Superintendent of the Electrical Department. He cherished time with his family and was often seen attending events for his grandchildren. A devoted Alabama football fan, he regularly attended home games until just a few years ago. Roy had a gift for fixing things-whether at home, church, or his children's homes-and enjoyed working with his hands. He especially loved a good cup of black coffee and anything cooked by his beloved wife, Kay. He was an active member and trustee of East Lake United Methodist Church in Birmingham, AL, as well as 67th Street United Methodist Church. Roy also served his country as a member of the Army National Guard.
