Roy worked as a truck driver for nearly 60 years and enjoyed being behind the wheel whether it was in a semi or his little Toyota Camry. Post retirement, Roy loved to be outside working around the house, tending the garden, mowing, or riding his tractor. However, his passion and greatest work was the life he lived for the Lord. Roy received the Holy Ghost on June 11, 1955, and grew strong in the Faith. For 70 years, he dedicated his life to God by going to Church, praying for the sick, helping the needy, attending revivals and gospel singings, and preaching the Gospel. Bro. Roy attended several Holiness Churches throughout his life from Indiana to Alabama some of which he helped to get established at the time of their starting. For nearly the last 30 years, he served as the founding Pastor of Union Grove Free Holiness Church. Bro. Roy was a beloved father in the Lord who sought after the care of so many Children of God. He will be remembered by so many as a great spiritual help, teacher, mentor, and friend.
