They were the landlords of the Kents Cavern pub, Torquay — welcoming the late legendary comedian Tommy Cooper in 1975 — and then had their name above the door at the Haywain, Chelston.
After leaving the pub trade, Roy worked for Kingsteignton-based WBB Minerals, now Sibelco UK.
Joan said: "We retired from pubs when Roy was 60 but he kept working until he was 78. I don't think he has done too badly getting to this age.
"We had a lovely family get-together at the Cottage Hotel in Salcombe to celebrate his birthday."
