Roy Eugene French was born March 18, 1942 in Iowa City, Iowa, to Harvey Arlington and Annetta Louise (Schafer) French. He entered into peaceful rest on May 14, 2015 at Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph, Missouri.
Roy attended Bedford Community Schools through the 10th grade, after completing the 10th grade he went to work in Shenandoah. He then came back to Bedford and joined in the family farm while holding a position as manager at the K&K Country Store.
In 1960 Roy was united in marriage to Joyce Marie Thomas. To this union they were blessed with three children, Lori, Karen and Kenny.
In 1980 the family moved to town while Roy was trucking for Dean Hensley. He then later worked at Dean’s Sinclair Station. After the station closed, Roy and Joyce managed the Bristol Manor in Maryville, Missouri. This continued for the next 17 years until their retirement.
Throughout his life Roy enjoyed woodworking, planting and tending to his beautiful flowers, making memories such as camping trips and playing cards, attending “damn good” BBQs with the Foote clan. His favorite card game was “George” where he always had a witty comment no matter whether he was winning or losing. There were rumors between the family that he often cheated.
