Roy was born on June 21, 1925 and grew up on the farm in Rapid City, Manitoba. After serving overseas in the army from 1941-1946, he purchased the local Massey farm implement business from his father. In 1947, Roy married Vivian McKnight and together they operated a successful business until 1956 when he joined the Manufacturers Life sales team and moved to Brandon. He stayed there until his retirement in 1996. Throughout the years, Roy enjoyed activities at their second home at Clear Lake. After retiring he took up curling. He also enjoyed golfing and fishing amongst other things. He always had a smile on his face and we will all remember him for the strong, proud and intelligent man that he was.
