After leaving home at an early age, he worked in the Hereford, TX area in the farming business, then joined the CCC and worked in the Flagstaff, AZ area. After the depression, he returned to Childress, TX and worked in road construction, and then for the railroad. In 1939, Roy married Cecil Priest in Childress, TX. He was drafted in December, 1942 and was trained as an equipment operator with the US Army Engineer Corps at Ft. Belvoir, VA and served in Germany until the end of WWII. After being discharged from the service as a Master Sergeant, he worked again for the Railroad in Childress, TX as a lineman. Roy and his family moved to Vernon, TX in 1949 where he worked as a heavy equipment operator and mechanic. In 1957, he started work at the W. T. Waggoner Ranch as a mechanic and worked there until retirement. After his wife's passing in July 2000, Roy moved to Wichita Falls, TX to be near his son and grandchildren.
