Roy was a realtor for Hometown Realty and a member of Taylorsville Baptist Church. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, farming, and was quite successful in his youthful drag racing days along with his brother Sonny. Roy also made great friends in the NASCAR community and was a friend and strong supporter of The Intimidator. He was a "man's man" with a quick wit and generosity in helping others with repairs. There wasn't anything he couldn't fix! Roy became an expert at wrangling and raising black angus cattle at his farm in Studley, Virginia along with his cherished wife Totsy. A true "salesman" at heart, he sold life insurance, Zep products and real estate, earning several awards with Hometown Realty.
