Roy was the crew chief of an Army helicopter unit based out of Ban Oi, though he did see a lot of action in central Viet Nam we well during his tour. After returning from Viet Nam, he met Mary while he was working for Cal Fire in Fountain Valley, CA. They had their son John while in Fountain Valley (born in the same hospital that Nhuanh, Johnson & Jonathan were!). They moved with Cal Fire to Chico, where they lived until Roy retired, after which they moved to the cooler climate of Santa Rosa. Their son John still lives in Chico, working for Cal Fire and raising Roy and Mary's two grandkids.
