Roy Doerr
June 26, 1941-Sept. 12, 2021
Roy Doerr, 80, Fargo,
joined his wife Cheryl in
heaven on September 12,
2021 following a short ill-
ness.
Roy Clifford Doerr, son
of August and Rosa
(Hausauer) was born on
June 26, 1941 at Harvey,
North Dakota. His family
moved to Bismarck where
he lived until he entered
the Army. He served four
years overseas and then
returned to Bismarck to
marry his high school
sweetheart Cheryl Broeck-
el on April 20, 1963.
They moved to Minot
where their son Jeff was
born; then on to Colorado
and Wyoming where Deb-
bie and Brenda were born,
respectively. In 1978,
they moved back to Minot
where Roy worked for I
Keating Furniture and
Northern School Supply
as a salesman. After retir-
ing, he continued getting
to know new people
through his job as cour-
tesy driver for Honda in
Minot and Rydell Honda
in Grand Forks.
Roy loved golf, wedding
dances, a good steak on
the grill, building things
out of wood, and spend-
ing time with his family.
He would make friends
wherever he went and
had many friends through
bowling, poker games,
softball, and golf. He had
a hole in one on Souris
Golf Course in Minot and
took third place with his
team from The Rack in a
Las Vegas national bil-
liards tournament. It was
important to Dad to treat
people with respect and
do a job right. He would
fix things whenever he
could. He often did home
projects that he and
Cheryl had seen on the
home improvement
shows.
Holding his cherished
memory are his three chil-
dren Jeffrey (Laurie) Doerr
of Minot, Deborah (Craig)
