Roy J. LeFevre

his 90th birthday.

Roy was born on May 6, 1928 in Wabeno, WI and was preceded in death by his parents, Louise

and Clem LeFevre, his sister Irena Funk, and his brother, Clem LeFevre. Roy is survived by his

wife of 59 years, Rosalind LeFevre, his daughter, Terry Gregersen (Joe), son Chuck LeFevre

(Christine), 6 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren, and

countless nieces and nephews.

Roy enlisted in the Navy in 1946 and retired in 1965. Roy continued to work for various

military contractors including Vitro and Lockheed, as well as NASA until 2003 when he retired.

After he retired and while his wife was still working, Roy joined her every day for lunch,

driving her to work, going back for lunch and then making a third trip to pick her up. These

two inseparable companions traveled the country together, attending many family events as

the West Coast representatives. When they were not traveling, they could be found enjoying

a weekend at one of the Lake Tahoe casinos or eating at their favorite restaurants, including

Benihana and Black Angus, where Roy was on a first name basis with many of the staff.

This was not uncommon for Roy, as he was quick with a hand shake and always wore a genuine

smile. He was the life of the party, had countless friends, and was loved by all. Always one

with a positive attitude, his usual response when asked how he was doing, even when

cheating death in a hospital bed, was to smile and respond, “If I was any better I couldn’t

stand it.”

His constant smile and positive attitude will be missed by the many hearts he touched.

Viewing 10-11am Saturday, April 28th in St. Clare Chapel at Santa Clara Mission Cemetery.

Funeral Service to follow at 11am. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to National

Kidney Foundation or Disabled American Veterans.
