Upon retiring as an Area Supervisor after a 37-year career in the oil field, Roy became an active member in the St. Charles Parish community serving on the board for Triad, Council on Aging and the St. Gertrude Pastoral Council. He wrote and published three books on Des Allemands history and published a cookbook with his award-winning Catfish Festival recipes.
Roy was an avid fisherman. On days he wasn’t spending his free time on the water, you could find him woodworking, cooking, crafting artwork, making crafts and gifts, and even fabricating his own fishing lures.
In lieu of flowers, Mass intentions at St. Michael the Archangel are preferred.
Falgout Funeral Home is honored to serve the Lunk family.
