While Royce was an avid golfer, deer and duck hunter, his passion was bass fishing. He always used to say "A bad day fishing is still better than a good day at work." He loved sitting in his boat or on a deer stand, even when the fish weren't biting, just enjoying the day, watching the birds, squirrels, alligators, and deer walking by, just marveling at nature. He truly loved the outdoors.
