MCALLEN - Raul Eduardo "Roy" Salinas also known as "Bio" to his friends, 57, went home to our Lord Friday, March 26, 2021, in McAllen.
Born in Edinburg, Roy was a former resident in Pharr and lived in McAllen for 22 years, where he was a parishioner at Holy Spirit Catholic Church.
After graduation, Roy joined his Uncle Oscar and Aunt Minnie in their CPA firm where he worked for the next 39 years. He married the love of his life, Lili, and together raised four amazing children. Although Roy enjoyed hunting and fishing, his greatest love was his family. Wherever Litza and Regina were, Roy was not far behind, as a Girl Scout dad or a dance dad. We will always remember his greatest highlight when he performed on stage with them in the Nutcracker. He was always there to support his girls.
