Friends Ann and Lee Belliveau,
"To a Beautiful Man"
Roy: To imagine a world without
you is incomprehensible … We will forever miss -
Your booming voice reverberating
out over the Oak Hill Fairways. Your enthusiasm and passion for the
game of golf ... Your knowledge and advice about fine wines ... Your
bone-crushing he-man hugs ... Your genuine, hearty laughter from deep
within ... Your love for all people ... Your joie de vivre, having lived
fully all the days of your life ... Your integrity and reliability and
loyalty ... Your ebullient, boundless good nature ... Your strong, steady
leadership skills ... Your adoration and deep love for your children
and your wife … and so much more.
And now, because of our knowing
you, now more strongly than ever before we realize-
How precious yet uncertain
life is … That if we can live our days as fully as you have lived
yours, we will be so fortunate … That we feel blessed for having
known and loved you.
………….
Friend Bruce Gurrall
No one was more fun to be with
than Roy. It didn't matter what you were going to do with him - it was
just being with him. He has a way of always making the other person feel
good. He made you feel comfortable and important. He believed life was
too great to drink bad wine.
