Condolences & Memories (15 entries)

• Dear Arlie and family, Roy's brothers and sisters in the Sons of Italy will miss Roy very much. He was kind, gentle, witty and wise....plus he had a touch of mischief in him. The community has lost a great mam and I lost a dear friend. Sincere condolences - Posted by: Vincent Bueti (Sons of Italy) on: Apr 09, 2013

• Roy, you will always be a part of who we are today. Your guidance played a major part in our lives. Murray looked up to you as a smart man whose company he misses always. I saw you as an uncle to me who really cared. We will keep your memory alive because we often speak of you. Good times we had with you over a good meal, a bottle of wine and out at our country place where you thought the grainery out in the bush was a neighbour's house. Rest now in that place where you won't be sick any longer and put lots of garlic in the Angels pasta sauce. See you later. We will bring the wine. - Posted by: Murray & Cathy Painter (Arlie's cousin) on: Apr 08, 2013

• Our love and prayers to you Arlie and your family. We were so saddened when we read of Roy's passing. A treasured friend of over 50 years, we will miss him. Roy was always there for so many of us. A devoted family man, he always had a story about his kids or grandkids, whom he adored. Holy Rosary Church benefited so much from Roy's dedication and commitment. Roy was one special guy! Arlie, we will be in touch when we get back. Vince and Rayleen - Posted by: Vince and Rayleen De Luca (Friends) on: Apr 08, 2013

• Roy always saw the humorous side of things which made our stop overs, when we came to Winnipeg, most enjoyable. Poltronetti's was a must stop on our trips to Winnipeg each year.

Rest in Peace Roy. - Posted by: Peter & Sandra Bazilewich (Friends) on: Apr 06, 2013

• Dear Roy, I always admired the Poltronetti entrepreneurial spirit and fondly remember childhood trips to Uncle Frank's garden and garage on Toronto Avenue. I always thought that old blue truck was the coolest vehicle, all loaded up with tools and equipment. I was so amazed when uncle Frank built a "house within a house". I also had the pleasure of spending some good times in the UK with Trent and I hope to see him again soon. lots of Love, Phil Leone please pass my details on to Trentino! - Posted by: Philip Leone (cousin) on: Apr 06, 2013
