Our sympathy to Pauline, Dale and Kim and the extended family. We have known Roy and Pauline for 50 years, having lived in both Whitby and Port Hope nearby each other. We remember Roy as a happy man who loved to dance and party. Roy could also tell a great story. We have many fond memories of good times with Roy and Pauline. Roy loved to renovate homes. He was a great family man, who will be missed by all who knew him.
