We didn’t have the opportunity to get to know Royce really well, but we consider his daughter and son-in-law to be among our closest friends. Royce must’ve been a wonderful person and a caring and loving dad to raise such a wonderful daughter. AJ and I remember talking with him at the camp, and he was showing us his new car. We remember commenting, after, how wonderful it is to have such spirit and zest for life that you buy a brand new car in your 80s. Notwithstanding his age, Royce seemed like a young and vibrant man. I’m sure his family will cherish their many wonderful memories of him. Please accept our sympathies.

Mr. Frail was my supervisor for a number of years with MT&T in Halifax and then New Glasgow. He was a fine gentleman and I had great respect for him. He certainly made my job easier.
My sympathy to your family on the loss of your father, and grandfather.

My sympathies to the Frail family. I spoke with Mr. Frail early in the new year as I had heard he had been in the hospital. I asked him to visit us soon. I was saddened to hear of his passing. I have known Mr. Frail for over 10 years and he was a thoughtful gentle person.

I will always remember Royce from our time working together at MT&T. He was and will be a man I respect very much. I ran into him several years ago in Bridgewater and he still remembered me which I found remarkable since I left the company 30 years ago.I think of him often and my sincere simpathys go out to his family.

I was very sorry to hear of Royce’s passing. He and his family have been our next door neighbors since I was a child playing with Pat, and for the past few years our daughter Jenna and her family have been his new neighbors, having taken over our family home. We all enjoyed our chats outside with Royce on a sunny day. He always had such a positive attitude and great sense of humor. We shared our experiences when Winnie and my Dad were in Camp Hill on the same unit. Royce loved his family deeply, and was very proud of Matthew’s success in joining the RCMP. He was a wonderful, caring neighbour and we will all miss his presence on Russell Street very much.
Our condolences to you at this sad time.

Royce was one of the most compassionate and thoughtful people I knew. He was always ready to lend a hand , an ear, the shirt off his back. He loved his family and friends and was loved in return. I will miss him.
