Roy was my first supervisor at Air Canada and was so kind. He took me under his wing, knowing I was from the farm and had no idea how the big city worked. He never made me feel stupid and always showed respect. Such a nice man. I will never forget him. - Posted by: Jan Charison (former Air Canada colleague) on: Mar 07, 2016
