- -had a trucking business delivering a by-product from Kellogg's as cattle feed to farmers in Middlesex County.
-inherited the family home that was built in 1860 on the L34BF farm after his great-grandfather Nelson purchased the property from the Thomas Jarvis estate in 1869. Roy sold the last part of this farm in 2006 to a land developer who will removed the house and build an apartment complex on the acreage. After 195 years of continuous residency of descendants of john Norton, the male line of this surname disappeared from Brick St. when Roy and his son left the area."
