Stacy was born in California and raised in the Hawaiian Islands until his early teens. Returning to California with his Mother, he became rebellious and turned to delinquency following his parent’s divorce. Threatened with imprisonment at age seventeen, Roy joined the U.S. Air Force and he excelled in his military studies, earning the American Spirit of Honor Medal in 1956.
Following his discharge from the Air Force in 1959, he worked his way through college and university before joining the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). For thirty-four years he worked in Sub-Saharan Africa in the fields of food security, health care, primary and secondary education becoming an Agency Mission Director and Senior Manager. In 1987, he was appointed by President Ronald Regan to the U.S. State Department as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Africa. He retired from the U.S. Foreign Service in 1989 with the rank of Career Minister.
