Personal lifeVitousek was born in Sissons, CA to Frank and Luella (Arnold) Vitousek. He attended public schools in Healdsburg, CA[2] and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1912. While in college, he was a member of the Pirates' Club and lettered in track. When the Pirates' Club became a chapter of Sigma Pi fraternity the year after his graduation he was one of the first alumni to be initiated into the national organization.[3] After college he became the city clerk of Healdsburg and had a law practice on the side.[2][4] He married his wife, the former Juanita Judy, in 1914[2] and moved to Hawaii in 1917.[5] From 1919 to 1921 he was the city and county attorney for Honolulu[2] He also coached a high school track team in his spare time. [6]During this time he became a partner in the law firm of Stanley, Vitousek, Pratt, & Winn.[7] PoliticsVitousek was elected as a Republican to the Hawaii Territorial House of Representatives from 1922-1944. During that time he served as Speaker of the House three times. He was a delegate to the 1940 Republican National Convention for the territory where he was a member of the Resolutions Committee. He also served as the Hawaii Territory Republican Party chair in 1945.[1] While in office he worked as Chairman of the Commission on Crime was highly praised. He worked continuously for the cause of Hawaii statehood and sponsored important legislation in the areas of civil service, labor relations, police organization, workmen's compensation, unemployment compensation, and public welfare.[8] Pearl Harbor attackVitousek was caught in the air on a joy ride with his seventeen-year-old son, Martin, during the attack on Pearl Harbor. He was flying an Aeronica when a passing Japanese fighter plane took a shot at them. After about ten minutes of trying to avoid Japanese aircraft they were able to land at John Rodgers Airport amid exploding bombs. Once on the ground they found a dead man (Robert Tyce) and two passenger planes that had been shot up.[5][9] The Vitouseks were fortunate. Of the eight civilian pilots in the air that day, three were shot down of which two died. One was forced to bail out. Two landed safely. Two pilots went missing and are presumed dead.[10] After the attack was over, Vitousek was sworn in as an assistant police captain to help organize the city.[5] FamilyVitousek's wife, Juanita was a painter best known for her watercolors.[11][12] They had three children: Frederica Vitousek Carah;[2][13] Roy A. Vitousek Jr., an attorney;[14] and Martin Judy Vitousek, a geophysicist and researcher.[15] Two of their grandsons are Roy (Randy) Vitousek III[16][17] and Peter Vitousek.[18] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://politicalgraveyard.com/bio/vincente-vliet.html|title=Vincenz to Vlodeck|publisher=PoliticalGraveyard.com}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Vitousek, Roy}}2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=http://files.usgwarchives.net/hi/statewide/bios/vitousek606bs.txt|title=Statewide County HI Archives Biographies.....Vitousek, Royal Arnold |publisher=Honolulu Star Bulletin}} 3. ^{{cite magazine|last=Smith & Laverty|first=|date=August 1953|volume=40|number=2|magazine=The Emerald of Sigma Pi|title=Forty Years on Strawberry Canyon: The History of Iota Chapter|pages=87–88|url=http://www.enivation.com/SigmaPi/archive/Emerald/1953/SP_EMERALD_VOL_40_NO_2_AUG_1953.pdf}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://santarosahistory.com/wordpress/category/insanity/|title=PROBATION FOR MAN WHO SHOT|publisher=Press Democrat, November 16, 1913}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite news |last=Krauss|first=Bob|date=December 5, 2001|title=Journal captured turmoil of life|url=http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2001/Dec/05/ln/ln02a.html|newspaper=Honolulu Advertiser|location=Honolulu, HI|access-date=February 20, 2017}} 6. ^{{cite magazine|last=Merriman|first=Dwight|date=April 1925|volume=12|number=1|magazine=The Emerald of Sigma Pi|title=Golden Gate Sigma Pi Club of San Francisco|page=73|url=http://www.enivation.com/SigmaPi/archive/Emerald/1925/SP_EMERALD_VOL_12_NO_1_APR_1925.pdf}} 7. ^http://scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu/mwg-internal/de5fs23hu73ds/progress?id=rENnBTQVCXsDh_T_DEudDZ-I2qOIIj_R0tONTo15-mk, 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.caselombardi.com/index.php/about-us/uncommon-history|title=UnCommon History|publisher=Case, Lombardi, & Pettit}} 9. ^{{cite news |last=Fournier|first=Rasa|date=December 13, 2006|title=Family Plane Hit By Zero Fighter|url=http://archives.midweek.com/content/zones/east_news_article/family_plane_hit_by_zero_fighter|newspaper=East Oahu News|location=Kapolei, HI|access-date=February 20, 2017}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://silverhawkauthor.com/warplane-survivors-usa-hawaii_297.html|title=Hawaii Warplanes Survivors: Pacific Aviation Museum, Ford Island|publisher=SilverhawkAuthor.com}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=https://denisondesign.smugmug.com/Family/Hawaii/Juanita-Vitousek/|title=Juanita Judy Vitousek - Water Color Paintings|publisher=Denison Design}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.americaneaglefineart.com/category/vitousek-juanita-judy/|title=Juanita Judy Vitousek|publisher=American Eagle Fine Art}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jdavis/b3752.htm|title=Learning Center at Ancestry.com|publisher=Ancestry.com}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=https://scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu/handle/10125/30075?mode=full|title=statehood_06.pdf (Biographical Summary: Malcolm MacNaughton, 75, retired Castle and Cooke executive) Pg. 51|publisher=University of Hawaii at Manoa}} 15. ^{{cite news |last=Altonn|first=Helen|date=February 17, 1999|title=Researcher Martin Vitousek, 74, dies|url=http://archives.starbulletin.com/1999/02/17/news/obits.html|newspaper=Honolulu Star-Bulletin|location=Honolulu, HI|access-date=February 20, 2017}} 16. ^{{cite news |author= |title=Sitting county regent seeking another term|url=http://www.mauinews.com/news/local-news/2013/02/sitting-county-regent-seeking-another-term/|newspaper=The Maui News|location=Wailuku, HI|date=February 5, 2013|access-date=February 20, 2017}} 17. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cades.com/attorneys/vitousek-iii-roy-a/|title=Roy A.
