On September 26th, 2021 at Guelph General Hospital, surrounded by his loving family and wife of 63 years by his side, Fernand Ena Joseph Roy was welcomed into the arms of his beloved Saviour Jesus Christ.

 

Fernand will be greatly missed by his loving wife Madeleine (Lachapelle) and their children: Michel Roy, Normand Roy (Deborah), Chantal Roy-Martini (John). Loving grand-papa of Bryan, Justin, Shannon, Justin, Jasmine (Andrew), Giancarlo, Patrick and great grandfather to Kayden and Thomas.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Chartwell Wellington Park and of Guelph General Hospital for the exceptional caring and respectful support given to Fernand in the final months of his life.
