Roy was an OSU fan and was very proud wearing his orange and black. He was the first paid Student Manager at the Swine Evaluation Station at Oklahoma State University. He had recently been accepted to serve on the Validation Compliance Team for the State of Texas and was really looking forward to serving in that position. Roy's favorite times were attending the major stock shows with the kids and their families just hoping to get that button! He made many friends throughout the years going up and down the highway trying to find that one hog that was going to win it all.
