He attended rural school in Keystone. On March 12, 1976, Roy married Faye Kensinger in Ogallala, and the couple made their home in Brule. Roy helped on the McGinley Ranch for several years before eventually going to work at Goodall Manufacturing in Ogallala. He went on to work for Van's Lakeview Fishing Camp and Ness Construction before his retirement. Roy was a man of many talents, who could work on just about anything. As a result, many of his days were spent as a handyman of sorts. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt, fish and camp. He also enjoyed traveling with his wife over the years. Roy had proudly served many years in the Army National Guard. He was also a guest member of the Keith County VFW Post 3755. Roy was preceded in death by his parents; adopted son, Donald Lee; a grandson, Willie; and a brother, William Osborn.
