Le Roy Self, 90, ended his journey on earth after a short illness and began a different journey on Feb 7, 2020, in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Services will be held at English funeral home in Post Falls, Idaho, on Tuesday, Feb. 18, at 10 a.m.

Roy (Le Roy) was born in Spokane, Wash., on July 24, 1929. He attended school in Spokane and the summers of his youth at Glengary Bay on Lake Pend Oreille. A graduate of Rogers High School and then electronics training while in the service, he later took over the family business Le Roy Self & Co – Manufacturers of Mirrored Casting and Trolling Trout Spoons in Spokane.

In 1953, while in the Sandpoint area, he met the love of his life, Beverly Jean Sundgren, and they were soon married. From that union came three sons along with a growing desire to return to the Sandpoint area. That goal was achieved in 1964 when Roy and Beverly purchased Kramer TV & Radio, later renaming and operating the business for over 30-years as “Self” Service TV, Appliance & Radio Shack in Sandpoint.

Always an avid sportsman, Roy particularly loved hunting and fishing with his sons while at the same time passing on some of life’s most important lessons. Through the years, Roy and Bev enjoyed traveling, going from coast to coast as well as visiting a number of countries abroad.

He was preceded in death by his father and step-mother, Le Roy Carl Self and Della (Graber) Self, and wife Beverly in 1998. Roy later moved to Post Falls in 2007 where he enjoyed his final years along with his friend and companion Marilyn Steinpreis. He is survived by his three sons and family, Roy E. Self and Nancy Self of Greenacres, Wash., Ronald W. Self and Lynn Self of Naples, Idaho, and Randy A. Self and Tina of Flathead County, Mont.; as well as grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

His memory will live on through those who knew him and loved him.
