Alfred ROY Obituary
Alfred Joseph (Al) ROY
October 14, 1920, Toronto - July 18, 2016, Newmarket
Peacefully passed away at Southlake Regional Health Centre on July 18, 2016 with family by his side. He was a young 95 years old. Beloved husband of Edna Margaret (Pringle). Beloved Father of Judith (Gordon) Reid, Deborah (Dan), Robert (Terri), Catherine and Paula (John) Bedoya. Beloved Grandfather of Michael and Christopher (Annie) Wilcox and Adam and Grant Bedoya and Great-Grandfather of Kaiya Wilcox.
Al served during WWII stationed in different cities and while staying temporarily in Regina, he met and fell in love with Edna. While Al was with the RCAF at Comox, BC as an aero engine mechanic, he proposed via Canada Post and Edna accepted. Edna also served in WWII and was stationed in St. John New Brunswick at that time. They were married June 4, 1945 and made a life in Toronto recently celebrating 71 years of marriage. Al was a proud Torontonian. He also had many many fond memories of his childhood years at Roches Point, Lake Simcoe with his dog Rover. He retired from CN Railway after 31 years of service. He was strong, very much loved and will be greatly missed. He will always be with us.
Many thanks for the kind and compassionate care Al received at 4E Southlake Village and Southlake Regional Health Centre. A special thanks to Doctor Liquornik and Doctor Luk for their excellent care. No funeral will be held. Flowers are gratefully declined. Instead, should you wish to make a donation in Al's name, please consider the Heart & Stroke Foundation or Prostate Cancer Canada.
