Royce completed his Doctoral degree in Metallurgical Engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology at Rolla in 1965 and worked primarily for Monsanto Electronic Materials Company (MEMC) until retiring on January 1, 1997. He had a lifetime passion for technical matters, writing, and issues. He felt fortunate to be a part of the developing semiconductor business that supports technology we all depend on today.

Royce was a faithful supporter of the St. Charles Historical Society for decades. He also researched and published numerous genealogy articles and books.
