Roy was born November 20, 1934 in Middleton, KY, the proud son of a coal miner. He was always working odd jobs and tinkering with bicycles and cars which earned him the nick name “Tink”. In this he never grew up, as he tinkered for 81 years. He is greatly missed but will live in our hearts forever.
