ROY – Reid M., 63, of Southwest Port Mouton, Queens County, passed away peacefully in Queens General Hospital, Liverpool on Tuesday, January 21, 2014.
Born in Southwest Port Mouton, he was a son of the late Floyd J. and Edna (Fisher) Roy.
Reid was a fisherman all his life. When he wasn’t on the water, he enjoyed camping, horseshoes, of which he and his father won many trophies. Reid enjoyed the Blue Jays and the Maple Leafs even when they were losing and went to Toronto with Mike and Robert to see his beloved Blue Jays play. Although he and Janie had no children of their own, their home and yard always had kids in it. He enjoyed his time volunteering at the West Queens Recreation Center catering and doing anything and everything the ladies asked. He enjoyed darts and a good game of crib. He was one of the first affiliate members of the Mersey Branch #38, Royal Canadian Legion, Liverpool and will always be remembered as a huge Elvis fan.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 41 years, Valerie “Jane” (Fisher); sister Valerie Roy of Beech Hill, brothers Arnold (Judy) of Mersey Point and Floyd G. “Buster” of Port Mouton. His special niece Roberta (Michael) Roy of Southwest Port Mouton and great nephew Robert.
He was predeceased by his sister Juanita Rosita Lloyd and nephew Joel Roy.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool. At Reid’s request, there will be no funeral service. No flowers, donations may be made to the West Queens Recreation Center or the Southwest Port Mouton Cemetery. Online condolences may be made to www.chandlersfuneral.com

Oh Janie; It was with deep sorrow that I heard of Reids passing. You were and always will be a deeply loving and commited pair of souls. It was always with deep pleasure that I was able to share a few minutes of my time with you both. Laughter and love was at the core of your life together. It doesn’t help at this very difficult time Janie, but you and Reid managed to have what is the most precious of all life’s gifts true love, devotion and laughter. Reid isn’t gone just waiting at a better place. Much affection and love, Wendy

Janie – I was so sorry to hear of Reid’s passing … I will always be indebted to both of you for all your help all these years. I will always treasure and remember the fun we had each summer when I visited! You both were like a brother and sister to me! It was truly a difficult decision when I sold the “old house” … so many memories and you both were always a part of it! Reid will truly be missed by all!
As I read thru everyone’s thoughts – the one thing that really stands out is Reid’s kindness to everyone and his wonderful sense of humor – his laughter!!!
My thoughts and prayers are with you – Janie – as you go thru this very difficult time. love, Eileen

Janie,
I’m so sorry and saddened to hear of your loss. Reid was always so kind to us when we would come up and visit. I’ll never forget how warm and inviting you both were during our summers in SWPM. Some how you guys always had the best Nintendo games and were always so willing to share. Even though we’d only see you and Reid every few summers, it always felt like visiting close family.
Sending you lots of love and sympathy.

I would like to take this time to thank everyone for their kind words about our Reid.He had numerous nieces,nephews,aunts,uncles,cousins,friends whom he loved dearly,and of coarse the LOVE of his LIFE Janie,they were one together.There is a huge hole in our hearts,but the memories will keep us strong.Reid was a prankster even to the end: he pulled a fast one on us-that was Reid.So I just want to THANK-YOU BROTHER for the years we shared.—UNTIL WE ALL MEET AGAIN. LOVE, SIS, ARNOLD ,BUSTER.

Michael Ryan
Janie,
I feel greatly for your loss and I am deeply sorry. Some of my best memories are of Nova Scotia and all the fun times we all had there. The both of you play a major part in those memories. Reid was always so welcoming and in good humor. As think back I can only see Reid with a huge smile on his face or making someone else smile in return. Reid will always be in my heart and cherished memories.
Jordan & Bella (Annie)Oickle, and Bernie Roy

Dear Janie & Family
Reid has left so many of us with wonderful memories. He had a sense of humor that made you like him instantly. I first met you and Reid over 30 years ago at Molega Lake Campground (great memories there) and I played many games of horseshoes against Reid and his dad. Whenever I saw Reid over the years he never changed and was always that friendly, funny guy that we all thought so much of. You are in my thoughts at this sad time!
Wilma and family
So sorry to hear of Reid’s passing, our thoughts and prayers are with you all R.I.P. Reid.

We will always remember how welcoming both you and Reid were to our family. We regret that we were only just getting to know Reid, but it was obvious to us – even in that short time – that he was a man who was a good neighbour and a loving partner.
We’ll keep you in our thoughts.
