Roy enjoyed building motorcycles, riding his Harley and playing the guitar. You could find him on the front porch of his house playing his guitar, singing and watching the world go by. Roy was a very kind-hearted person and would help anyone in need. He would spend hours on the phone listening to a friend in need. He was very musically talented and could play any instrument you put in his hands. His artistic skills helped him be a tattoo artist and a painter. He collected old coins and movies.
