He enjoyed hunting, fishing and being outdoors. Some of his many interests included landscaping, working complex jigsaw puzzles, and creating decorative glasswork. When his children were younger, Mr. Sandee was an official for youth soccer and baseball in the Random Lake area. In his spare time, Roy enjoyed having cook outs, watching old westerns and doing yardwork. He would often snowblow the whole block, or mow neighbors yards while they were on vacation, just because it was the nice thing to do.

Further survivors include his dear canine companion Bella, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents, sister Vivian Gantner, brother Peter Sandee and sister-in-law Mary Ann Sandee. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 6PM on Wednesday, July 24, at Our Lady of the Lakes, St. Nicholas Chapel, Dacada. Father Richard Cerpich will preside.
