Roy was a resident of Bay City most of his life. He graduated from Central High School in 1958 and attended Ferris State University. Roy worked as a floor supervisor and project manager for American Hoist, Baker Perkins, and Wright K. Roy took great pride in serving the Bay City as 9th Ward Commissioner from 1993-2001.

Roy was also a life-long sports fan and closely followed the Michigan Wolverines and NY Yankees. He was an active member of Faith Lutheran Church and a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, spending many evenings in the Word.
