I feel so incredibly fortunate to have had such a wonderful man in my life. He was always understanding and had such a gentle demeanor I can only hope some of it has rubbed off on me. I think often of the times he just listened to me and gave me his well thought out advice. I live each day smiling knowing he is not in pain and hope he guides me along when I need his much needed advice. - Posted by: Kelly Forsyth (daughter) on: Oct 04, 2013

So sorry for your loss Eleanor I will remember Roy as a fun guy at the Legion, hosting long weekend live entertainment at the cottage, and the great New Years Parties on Royal Ave. But mostly as pappa and how much he loved his family. I hope you find comfort in the wonderful memories - Posted by: Elaine () on: Aug 03, 2013
