After the war, he married his life-long sweetheart Thelma on July 13, 1948. They moved back to Oregon with his family after only two weeks of being married. Graduated from Oregon Tech Institute for body, fender, and painting. He had several other jobs throughout his life and retired from Bendix of 35 years.
He was a well-known member of the community- this past year he was honored to serve as Louisburg’s Citizen of the Year. It was typical to see Roy walking around the lake or Wildcat Activity Center every morning. He enjoyed going up to the senior citizens to talk with all the guys and to make the coffee. There were several years when he led the Louisburg Labor Day parade and the honor guard as a member of the American Legion Post 250. Roy was a great husband, father, grandfather, friend, and community member that will deeply be missed by all.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Joe and Emma Davidson, his three brothers, and three sisters.
Roy was survived by his wife of seventy-one years: Thelma Lowe, his two daughters: Pam Waite (Mike) and Connie Flaigle, four grandchildren: Michelle (Rob), Jamie (Gracie), Angie (Brian), and Nate, and seven great grandchildren: Bailey, Blake, Braden, Zach, Shyloh, Brooklyn, and Brock.
