He and Ruth loved to take trips all over the country with Marlin and Carol Wineland. A few years after Ruth's death in 2001, Roy went to the nursing home. When family visited Roy, he always asked about how things were at the farm, and loved to joke around with them. Roy Goemaat passed away January 26, 2013 at Jefferson Place in Pella at the age of 87.
