Roy Dyce Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 15, 2015.
Roy died peacefully surrounded by family at Surrey Memorial Hospital on June 12, 2015 at the age of 70. Roy was a devoted husband to his loving wife of 47 years Judy, a proud father of his children Lindsay (Kimberly) and Rhonda and adoring grandfather to Josh and Evan. He always felt fortunate to come from such a large family -brothers Bill (Barb), Jim, Andy (Patty), Lindsay, John (Penny) and sisters Donna (Roy), Elsie (Earl), Audrey (Walter), Brenda (Ron), Lynn (Rob), and Anna (Dave) and many nieces and nephews. Roy was also a cherished brother-in-law to Gerry and Gloria Reimer. Roy is preceded in death by his Mother, Father, two brothers Irwin and Charlie (Donna), brother-in-law Edwin Scott and sister-in-law Kathy. Roy was born in Mount Forest, Ontario to Frank and Emma Dyce. He moved west in 1966 where he met Judy and began working for Westcoast Transmission, followed by Pacific Northern Gas. Roy was a dedicated and loyal employee spending over 45 years with the company, including 17 years as the CEO. Roy will always be remembered as a kind, honest and generous family man and for his amazing smile. His favourite times were with his adoring wife Judy when he was surrounded by his family and friends and going for walks with his beloved beagle Kirby. A Celebration of Life will be held in Arthur, Ontario. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetic Association.

I had the pleasure working with Roy at West Coast Transmission in the late 60's.
We built apps for the computer.
Roy was enthusiastic, smart, and very personable to work with.
I miss him.

We are sad to hear about Roy . Roy and I went to Ryerson together and shared accomodations for 3 years . I can't begin to express how much fun we had and at the same time because of Roy's commitment to studies did well at school . My wife and I (MIllie) also spent 5 years with Roy at the ADHS and have many wonderful memories . Although I only saw Roy once since he moved West he will always be fondly remembered . Best wish's to the family Bob and Millie Armstrong

Our sincere condolences to Judy and family. Roy and I worked together for 13 years until my retirement in 1998.Roy was a competent and well liked leader of PNG and a good friend. Roy has left us far too soon.

Roy and I sat desk to desk when Roy first started at Westcoast Transmission.
We shared many laughs together and it was always a pleasure to work with Roy. He told me stories of his growing up days with a large family and how close he was to his family.
My heartfelt sympathies go out to Judy and their family for the loss of a "great guy". Barrie Brundage

Well done brother. From forking manure onto a stoneboat, stooking grain and pitching sheaves behind a team of horses to becoming CEO of a large Canadian corporation you have done your family proud. Your accomplishments were great but your family loved you regardless of this. You taught us a lot about life and love for your family. Until we meet again. Your Brother Lindsay

Dear Judy, Rhonda, Lindsay, Kimberley and the boys,
Please accept my condolences on the loss of Roy. He was a wonderful man Judy, I know he loved his family so much, and there will be such a big void with him gone. It is such a difficult time for you all. The passage of time does help, but I know that grief is a real physical pain. Please call when you feel up for a talk or a hug. You are all in my thoughts, Love Leila

Mourning and celebrating the life of Uncle Roy. Was always nice discussing banking and business with him and his great smile he would flash when I asked him how his venture of transported liquified natural gas to the Asian pacific was going. Thinking of you all love Doug Dyce
