A loving and devoted family man, Roy was a cherished son, brother and uncle.   Roy was an outdoorsman at heart and his passion was skiing,.  He travelled all over for his ski trips including all over the United States, Amsterdam, Germany, Switzerland and France.  He has lift tickets and memorabilia from all of his trips and shared the stories with his loved ones.  He would often share his passion of skiing with his nieces, Barbara and Janet at Elk Mountain and Pine Hill.   Roy also water skied until an accident made him stop this kind of activity.  Trips to their family home in Tuckerton were filled with boat rides and fishing trips.
