Roy M. Westrich, age 84 of West Chicago, passed away on October 22, 2024.

Roy proudly served in the United States Coast Guard. He and his wife, Dianna, started the family business, Plant Parties by Dianna, which successfully expanded to Plant Rentals. In his younger years, Roy enjoyed playing chess and fishing. He was quite the story teller. Roy was a good dancer and gardener. He liked to collect antiques and currencies. Roy had an appreciation for good food and drink. Roy also loved animals and, more than anything, his family.
