It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Roy. We take comfort in knowing he is now free from all the pain and suffering of health issues which he always persevered in battling.

The heartache of losing Roy too soon is softened by knowing he is once again having tea and long talks with our beloved mother, Katherine, whom he missed immensely. He is the cherished younger brother of Karen (Terry) and Ken (Doris). Loving uncle to Katie and Kolby. He will be fondly remembered by extended family and dearly missed by friends, some of whom were like family to him. He appreciated their many expressions of love, kindness and help, especially as the health issues increased. Roy also enjoyed daily visits from "his" outdoor cats, Penny and Henry, who came for food, of course, and to chill with him.

Although we cannot see him again, chat or enjoy his great cooking, we are thankful for the many shared memories that will carry us through the days ahead. He will be forever treasured in our hearts. We love you to the moon and back, Roy! Thank you for loving us too and all you brought to our lives.
