Roy Hazuka was born to Anton and Susie Hazuka on May 20, 1925.
Roy was a resident of Tripp County for his entire life where he and his wife Dorothy farmed north of Witten on the family farm, which was homesteaded in 1909. They retired and moved to Winner in 1995.
Roy was involved in his community by serving on the school board and township committees.
Roy put many smiles on the faces of those he met through his polka band at the many dances he played. He played his accordion for anniversaries and dance clubs. He played polka festivals in Rapid City and Deadwood for over 18 years.
Roy and Dorothy recently celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary in Winner on February 15, 2017.
