He was an auto painter until his son Alex's illness forced him to retire. Roy had many hobbies, among them mountain biking, riding Harley-Davidsons, classic cars and playing drums in a rock band. He was a wonderful husband and father and had a very giving heart; he supported many charities through his life. The charity dearest to him was the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which granted a wish to his son Alex. In lieu of flowers, his family asks that contributions be sent to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central & Southern Arizona, 711 East Northern Ave., Phoenix, Az., 85020. There will be a gathering of friends and family at Alex's Lazy E Ranch in Apache Junction on Thurs., March 13, 2003, beginning at 3:00 p.m Falconer Funeral Home handled arrangements.
