He was born on August 29, 1930 to Dona and Nathalie (Asselin) Roy in the Webster Township, Rooks County. On May 17, 1954 he married JoAnn Wolcott at the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Damar.

He served in the Army in Alaska before owning and operating Roy’s Crane and Dozer service for 55 years. Clifford was a lifetime member of the V.F.W. and St. Thomas Catholic Church. He enjoyed many things during his life from bowling and flying his 4-seat Cessna, to dancing and leading wedding marches. He also enjoyed attending auctions and his grandkids’ sporting events. He loved his candy, horses, and antique sleighs. But above all, he loved his friends, family, and grandchildren. Clifford is survived by his wife JoAnn of the home in Stockton; sons Douglas Roy of Rose Hill, Tracy Roy and wife Claudia of Salina, and Corey Roy and wife Gail of Norton; daughters Paris Bremer and husband Gerald of Otterville, MO and Gina Brooks and husband Barry of Smith Center; brother Stanley Roy and wife Diane of Damar; sisters Viola Ricks of Arlington, TX and Norma Griffin and husband Darrell of Salina; sister-in-laws Marge Roy of Atwood, Evelyn Roy, and Karen Roy; 9 grandchildren, Piper Roy, Sean McIntire (Krista), Katharine Draper (Ashton), Bethany Shirk (Spencer), Christian Bremer, Megan Bremer, Paige Brooks, Grady Brooks, and Louis Frazier (Payton); and 3 great-grandchildren, Kloie Simons, Dean Simons, and Charlotte McIntire. Preceding Clifford in death are his parents, Dona and Nathalie; brothers Eugene Roy, Orville Roy, LaVerne Roy, and Albert Roy; sisters Donna Wiltfong and infant Shirley Roy. Clifford worked hard all his life to provide for his family. Although he was taken from us too soon, we know that those we enjoyed and loved, we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us. We can smile because he lived and left us with cherished memories that will live forever in our hearts.
