Roy was my neighbor for years. He will be missed.
My condolences to the family.

So sorry to hear of Roy’s passing. We are going to miss trading trees for his homemade raisin bread. Rest In Peace Roy.

Brenda and Kevin,
Your parents were the kindest and most fun loving people. They took Wanda and I, two single teachers, and welcomed us into your home and made us feel so comfortable. We always had lots of laughs and good times. Wanda and I still laugh about our “wine siphoning experience!” Such wonderful parents you had. I’m so glad that Roy dropped into my condo in St. Catharines, a couple of years before I moved to Ottawa and we sat and chatted for hours. Your Dad was “a people magnet” and I know wherever he is he will be chatting up a storm with a new friend. He will be sorely missed! I’m glad your two boys got to know him and will have wonderful memories of their grandpa! I am so sorry to hear that he has passed.
With love and friendship.

❤️❤️Sincerely,
Jean Holbert-Leighton
