Roy loved life and lived it to the fullest: snowmobiling in the winter, upta camp, boating in the summer, downta camp and numerous activities spending time with family and friends.

He also enjoyed his time with the Robin Dow and Auburn Seniors.

After his time in the Air Force, he settled in Auburn. He worked in the shoe industry for New England Counter Company and later running Bellevue by the Sea, their family cottage as a Bed & Breakfast for 28 years, all with his loving wife Mary by his side. He will be sorely missed.

Roy is survived by his loving wife, Mary, of 62 years; their children, Peter, David, Karen, Mark, Robert, Patty and their spouses; eight grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and his sister, Connie Tassinari.
