Englebert, 87, of Forestville, passed away on Nov. 24, 2025, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Green Bay.  He was born Sept. 22, 1938, on the family farm to Wilbur and Emily (LeRoy) Englebert.  On Oct. 4, 1958, he married Joyce Tebon at St. Mary’s Church in Algoma.  Together they raised three children.

After graduating from Algoma High School in 1956, Roy earned a bachelor’s degree in agriculture education and chemistry from the University of Wisconsin at River Falls.  Right after college, he was hired by International Harvester (which later became Case IH).  During his career, he worked in numerous management positions around the country and continued to do national farm shows on the road for Case IH during his retirement. 

When Roy retired in 1996, he and Joyce returned to Forestville and settled back on the family farm.  He loved taking care of the farm, mowing the lawn, working in the garden and working on numerous IH tractors.  He also enjoyed some time hunting.
