Roy Ebner
March 22, 2021 – December 27, 2022 Roy was born in Palmer Township, PA and served in the Army Air Corps where he was deployed to the Southwest Pacific theater in WWII. After the war, he attended Lafayette College. In 1956, he moved his family to Northborough, MA and worked in the agricultural equipment industry. The family moved to Corona, CA in 1965. He then became an entrepreneur working primarily in metal fabrication for the hog and chicken industry. In the 1970s he designed and created an incubator in the form of a giant egg to display the hatching of chicks for exhibits at the California Museum of Science and Industry, and the Boston Museum of Science, among other venues. Roy was a lifelong Mason, an avid reader, and walker. After moving out of Corona in 2010, he lived with his children in Orange County, and later at the Veterans Home of CA Ventura and West LA. He was preceded in death by his wife of over 60 years, Vivian (n‚e VonSteuben). He is survived by his son Chuck (Nina), and daughters Sallie (Paul) Bennett, and Nancy (Mario Voce), and his grandchildren Celeste Voce (Adam Daroff) and Christopher Ebner, who will honor his legacy by doing as he did — by taking things one day at a time and never saying no to dessert.
