After graduating with honors from Auburn University in 1974, Roy embarked on a remarkable career that would span 35 years, literally taking him around the world, building large-scale projects for many U.S. Government agencies and private sector clients.

Roy was a loving husband and father, a devoted brother and son, and loyal friend. Throughout his life, his strong faith guided him and served to make him the remarkable man that he was, leaving his mark on all who met him. He will be missed by so many, who may take comfort in knowing that he is at peace with his Heavenly Father.
