Born in Seattle, WA, in 1935, Roy graduated from Lincoln High School in 1953 and from the University of Washington with a BS in Mechanical Engineering in 1958. He married Joyce in 1958 and together they raised three children, Michael Cosper, Wendy Govert and Shelly Garrison. He was the proud grandfather of eight grandchildren, Meg, Hannah and Clare Cosper, Joshua, Christopher and Lexie Govert, and Joel and Seth Garrison. Roy devoted his life to his family and to his Savior, Jesus Christ.
Roy was preceded in death by his parents, Leslie and Wanda; and is survived by his brother, Dick; his wife, Joyce; and his children and grandchildren.

Dear Joyce, Mike & Terry and Family,
We are saddened to hear of Roy's passing, but we know he is with his Lord and Savior up in Heaven. We fondly remember the days in choir at Alderwood, singing alongside of Roy (and Mike and Terry too). Roy was such a fine gentleman and it was always a joy to visit with him. He had some good insight into the Providence Hospital system where Kathie has worked for many years. Our love and our prayers are with you all in this difficult time. We are sorry to have missed the Memorial Service at Alderwood last Saturday, but due to big snow these past days we didn't think it was wise to drive down from our home here on Camano Island. We will always remember Roy and we send our sincere love to you all.

In Christian love,

Barb Matter

To Joyce and family,
Due to the snow conditions, I haven't been able to attend church for two weeks. I just learned of Roy's passing today and wanted you to know my thoughts and prayers go out to each of you. Roy was a special part of our Alderwood Manor Community Church family and he will be missed. May the Lord comfort you at this time.
In His name, Barb Matter

Roy you will be missed by all of us who volunteered along side of you and Joyce with Support 7. You always had a smile on your face and made me feel that we were all part of something special. Thank you for being my friend and for all you did for us. God Bless

My love and condolences to the Cosper family during these trying times. I can just imagine Nana and Grandpa, Dad, Wanda, Roberta, Roy Jr. and everyone else welcoming Roy "Home". What a wonderful reunion they must be having.
Again, my love to all.
