Great-great grandfather to Dawson.  Predeceased by siblings Mildred and Ronnie. 

Roy will be fondly remembered by his sister–in-laws, Gwen (Jack), Bernice (Glen) and brother-in-law John (late Marjorie).  Roy will be missed by his extended family and friends.

Roy’s greatest passions were running a backhoe, hunting, fishing and playing cards.
