Mr. Lehman was born May 16, 1928, in Iantha, to Guy and Eunice (Hughes) Lehman. He graduated from Liberal High School in 1946 and married Thelma Johnston on November 5, 1950.

He honorably served in the United States Army as Corporal from January 1951 to December 1952. During the Korean War he was stationed in the artillery unit behind Heartbreak Ridge.

He was a lifelong farmer in rural Barton County, who spent his life working hard and providing for his wife and five children. He rarely missed any of his children and grandchildren’s school programs and sporting events. He was known for “Roy-isms,” delivered with perfect timing and a smirk. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing and spending time with family and friends, who will miss him greatly.
