In memory of a lovely man

Roy, or Jack as I will always remember him, was a wonderful person. He was the most kind, considerate and tolerant man I ever worked with. I never saw him angry or even upset. Years of riding the waves in the Royal Navy had made him into an easy-going person who got on with everybody and treated everybody the same. Nothing ever fazed him - he took it all in his stride. I used to marvel at his Navy stories, told in the mess, always seated with his legs crossed at the thigh and a rollie on the go, with a glint in his eye that can only have been pride in his past service. If I had met Jack before we were firemen together, perhaps if I'd strayed into the Royal Oak one night and played darts, I doubt I'd have been a fireman, I'd have joined the Navy! Roy was a real gentleman, one of the very best. I am proud to have known him and privileged to have served in the Fire Service with him. I will always remember him. Rest in Peace, Jack. Love from Ken and Mel

Roy, the sweetest man and wonderful dad of my best friend. Rest in peace. I’ll look after Charlotte always xx

Thinking of you all during this very sad time. Lots of love Tim, Vic, Ella and Ava x

Thinking of you all at this difficult time.
Sending lots of love. Chris, Lauren & Arthur x

Rest in peace Roy, you and your lovely family are in our thoughts Xx

Roy was the kind, friendly and gentle dad of our lovely daughter-in-law, Charlotte, and husband to Viv, who has become a very good friend since our families joined together. Rest in peace Roy, love Mary and Rob

God Bless Roy and his family. Roy was such a lovely man. Caring and generous. Often gave me a rollup when I was out of baccy. Had many a laugh and a chat. I miss those days at Colchester Rd. Will never forget you Roy.

Grandpa, you’ll be missed by us all. We love you xxxxx Edward, George and Sam xxxxx

My first experience with Roy was when he welcomed me into the fire service, he was always a happy and jolly presence at Colchester Road.
Little did I know that I would end up living next door to this lovely man along with Viv. Our enduring memory will always be Roy in the garden he loved, preparing a rollie whilst we chatted about the service or gardening - he was always a great source of knowledge.
Bless you Roy, you'll be missed. x
