Roy was born October 26, 1929 in Atlanta, GA. He was preceded in death by his wife, Carolyn of 67 years. Roy served in the SeaBee’s for 3 years. He lived in Newnan, GA for many years where he owned a gas/oil distribution center as well as being manager of the Coca Cola Bottling Plant. Upon moving back to Atlanta, he was President of Monarch Products/Consolidated Chocolate Bottling Company. When he “retired” from the soft drink industry, he bought Corporate Specialties (an advertising specialty company).

Roy was a member of the Rotary Club of Peachtree Corners, the Mason’s, the Shriners, American Legion and VFW. He was a member of Norcross First Baptist Church (One Heart Church) for over 53 years. Roy made a variety of friendships during his lifetime; he had Lake Lanier boating friends, golfing buddies, business friends, his new found friends at the Bridge, and Sunday School breakfast club friends. Roy truly enjoyed his friends, but family was his number one priority. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
