Will miss our visits, especially in your last days at the hospital …. you will be in spirit on my next ice cream run since you won’t be able to come along. You had a bubbly personality and we had some great chats. You will be missed 😢 💔 Til we meet again. I know you will be watching over everyone you deeply cared for – rest in peace
Noella and family, I’m so sorry to hear about Roy. I have many fond memories of the five years I worked with him at the St. Clair Parkway Golf Course. I learned a great deal from him. Also, with a look of mischief in his eyes, his ever-present toothpick may have just been sent my way if I was giving him any grief. He had great aim. I’ve also told the tale of his common response to being asked how he was doing. He’d have the whole maintenance shop laughing. He was a great character and will be missed. And Noella, thank you for sneaking all those french fries and leftover burgers to me at the golf course kitchen back then too.
So sorry for your loss.
We are sending condolences to family and friends of Roy. Bob and I spent some time with Roy over the last few years. He will be dearly missed. We are planning on attending the service on Aug 23rd to celebrate the life of Roy Sharpe
