Roy Wayne Regier, “Rippin Roy” from Car Buddies, “Rolaids” from Ashley Franklin, “Bone Crusher” from Gordon Regier, died on May 22, 2014, at his home surrounded with loving family.
Roy was born October 26, 1956 to Vernon and Hilda (Woelk) in Newton, Kansas. Roy worked at Bunting Magnetics as an assembler for almost 30 years. He was an avid motor head. He loved to work on his car a 1938 Chevy Coupe. Every vacation he took from work was to work on the car of the house although, that was not Teri’s idea of a vacation.

Teri (wife) and Mindy (niece) honored his wished of coming home and stayed by his bedside throughout his last week’s, giving him hourly meds and taking care of him 24 hours a day.
