ROY JOSEPH ROBERT October 3, 1933 - September 21, 2004 "A kind and gentle heart has stilled..." It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our husband and father on September 21, 2004 at the age of 70 years. Roy leaves to mourn his passing and to cherish many fond memories, his beloved wife Eileen; daughter Nicki Olynyk (John) son Jeff Robert (Erika) grandchildren, Sarah and Josh, Jessica and Brayden. Roy was predeceased by his parents, Maud and Joe. Roy grew up in St. Vital and apprenticed as an auto mechanic. In 1971, he and Phil Andre partnered and ran Andre Motors Service Station for eight years. A career change found Roy working at Western Propellers for 10 years. At retirement, Roy and Eileen moved to Lac du Bonnet where he further enjoyed his yard work and the peacefulness of lake life. These times were shared with friends and family. Roy was also a long time member of the Knights of Columbus. The Community always enjoyed his commitment to his volunteerism. Roy will be sadly missed by his loved ones, numerous cousins, brothers and sisters-in-law, four nieces, friends and neighbours. The family wishes to thank Dr. Pascoe and the I.C.U. staff at the St. Boniface Hospital for their dedication and determination while Roy was in their care. In lieu of flowers, if family and friends so wish, memorial donations may be made in Roys name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or to a charity of ones choice.
