Robert Leroy Hume was born February 2, 1926, at Charles City, the son of Robert A. and Gladys Irene (Waters) Hume, the fourth of eleven children. He received his education at McIntire and later received his GED. Roy proudly served in the United States Navy during World War II.
Roy met Ann Mackamul in Charles City and they were married at the Saint John Evangelical Lutheran Church on September 1, 1946. Roy worked at Salsbury Laboratories, Oliver Corporation, Charles City Western Railroad and the Charles City High School.

He was a member of the Saint John Evangelical Lutheran Church, American Legion and V.F.W. Roy enjoyed hunting and fishing. For many years he built a variety of grandfather, mantel and wall clocks for family and friends. His greatest joy, however, was spending time with his family and friends. The family would like to give special thanks to Dr. Schrodt, Hospice of North Iowa and the staff of 9th Street Chautauqua Guest Home for the loving care they gave to Roy.
