Roy’s biggest disappointment in life was when he developed Hodgkins Disease and could no longer work. As work was what he loved to do best.
After many chemo treatments the Hodgkins disease went into remission. He moved back to Progress and kept busy cutting grass and keeping his yard nice. He played a lot of cards with his neighbors Danny and Georgia Ryan.
Roy’s health got bad again about four years ago when he developed a chronic lung disease. He was on life support for four days and after spending five months in hospital he went to live in the Pouce Coupe Care Home. He had a lot of respect for the caregivers and won the heart of many.
Roy was told about two months ago that he had a terminal Leukemia. He agreed to blood transfusions. When the second transfusion didn’t work he knew the end was near. He kept his sense of humor and carried on joking with the staff and family until the end. He was very grateful to the staff in the Home for all they did for him.
