Donna, Mark, Nancy, Tracey and family,
I was very shocked and saddened to learn of Roy’s passing. Always enjoyed listening to him playing his guitar and singing when I would be picking my blueberries. I know he love his yard, gardening and he would have everything fixed up for when his grandchildren came to visit. It has been a hard year for me and now you as well. Please think of all the wonderful memories. My heart goes out to you all. My sincerest sympathies.

Condolence from David MacKenzie on November 17th, 2016 12:23 am

Speaking for my part of the extended Roberts family we are all sorry to lose a great father, father-in-law and grandfather. I see little wonderful parts of Roy in our daughter Sarah’s love of music and our son Adam’s love of sport. He was very kind to me from the first day I met him – whenever he visited he always took on a project to help out (Roy could fix anything !) I am happy our kids got to spend time with him every summer … Roy will be missed. I am proud he was my father-in-law – I am proud he was my friend.

Dear Donna and Family,
Sharon and I were very sorry to hear of the passing of Roy.
