Roy Dobbdal Newcomb was born on the family farm in Hines, Minnesota, December 18, 1924. Parents Howard and Norma Newcomb, brother Robert, and sister Norma Lucille completed the family.
Following the Pearl Harbor attack, Roy enlisted in the US Navy and enrolled in Officer Candidate School. As WWII ended, Roy returned to Hines and soon met his future wife, Virginia Nelson of St. Paul, as she was completing her nurse's training. A long distance courtship led to their wedding on June 26, 1948. The couple built a family with a total of six children.
