Roy Munsell Obituary

Roy J. Munsell, 50, of Webster, MA, passed away on Friday, May 21, 2010. Roy was a passionate, caring person, always ready to lend a hand when help was needed.

He was predeceased by his father, Perley Munsell and his aunt, Mary Gallant. Arrangements: A celebration of life service will be held on Thursday, May 27, 2010 at 5 PM at the Graham, Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Parlor, 838 Main Street, Worcester, MA.

Dear Roy ~ Happy Father's Day in heaven, my friend! I know Craig and Rachel are missing you big time right now. How I miss talking to you about what they're up to in their journey through life. There will always be a special place in my heart that I hold happy and wonderful memories of our times together. You left this earth much too soon and loved by many --- I don't think you even knew how many people loved you, but your love was bountiful. I promise to keep your memory alive by sharing your goodness and funny stories with those who knew and loved you. Peace be with you now and forever, Roy. With love ~ Caryl

I only knew Roy for a short time. He was a very nice guy. I am so sorry for your loss. I believe that his "Spirit" has passed over to the over side. Our physical bodies are just an apartment to house our soul/Spirit. Our Soul/Spirit then leaves our bodies at the time of death and we go on to the other side. May God bless you all.
