He married Audrey, on July 13, 1957.  A year later he joined the Air Force Reserves and was called to active duty during the Berlin Crisis.  He was honorably discharged in 1964, returning to work for Sears and Roebuck, retiring with 35 years of service. After retirement, he purchased McCracken’s Home Furnishings where he worked until 2004.

Roy continued to serve the Lord by teaching Sunday School and adult Bible studies for 60 years. He also served in the church as a Deacon for 60 years. The Gideons International was also a ministry where he served for 50 years holding all Camp elected offices and several State offices.
