Passed away peacefully on October 15 ^th , 2019. Born in Kirkconnel, Scotland, Roy emigrated to Canada to pursue his career in nuclear engineering, with a focus on safety systems, first in Montreal and then Toronto. Roy's links to Scotland were evident in his love of Robert Burns poetry and rugby (playing for U of Aberdeen, Montreal Wanderers & Toronto Scottish). Roy also enjoyed volunteering as a Scout leader, travelling and spending time with his grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by Karin Bergen; his children Marcia, Diana (Rob) and Gavin (Maigaelle); his grandchildren Cole, Caitlin, Xander, Maia and Zoe; and his friends and family.

Many thanks to the caring and compassionate staff at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital and Churchill Place. A Celebration of Life will be held at Kopriva Taylor Funeral Home, 64 Lakeshore Rd West, Oakville, on Saturday November 2 ^nd at 2:00 pm.  In lieu of flowers, remembrances to McDermott House Canada would be appreciated.
