Roy was a gentleman and a gentle man who lived a life of honesty, integrity and strong moral character. He was a little man with a great big heart. He was born in Canada, grew up in Saranac Lake and settled in Rochester in the 1940s. During World War II he served in the U.S. Army in Europe. He worked at Rochester Products as a tool and die maker and in 1976 retired as general foreman of the Tool and Die Department. He was an avid golfer and a talented stained glass and woodworking craftsman.
