Roy loved football and played in high school at Fork Union, at the University of Maryland and for the U.S. Air Force. He was proud to play for Maryland in 1952 when Maryland won the National Championship at the Sugar Bowl against Tennessee. He worked for Johnson and Johnson after the military. He was an entrepreneur starting his own business, MacTavish, in Richmond. Upon selling MacTavish to General Medical, he became Vice President of Sales and Marketing at General Medical. Once again, he established a new company, Sterile Concepts in Richmond. As CEO, he took this company public on the New York Stock Exchange. After retiring, he and his wife, Kay, traveled extensively. The beach was his passion and the Outer Banks became an annual summer vacation for the entire family. Roy’s joy was his family and he took great pride talking about each member. As the family patriarch, he was in demand to listen to each child and grandchild and offer his much requested advice.
