Fernand Roy

644c959c03a189bdfa0e900edc840915 lg

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Fernand Roy of Edmonton on April 11, 2017 at the age of 87 years.

Fernand Odilon Roy was born in St Romain Quebec, the 12th of 15 children. Survived by siblings, Roland, Marie-Anna, Émilien and Thérèse. Predeceased by his parents, Arthur and Marie-Anna, and loving wife of 38 years, Jocelyne (née Blais).

Loving father of 5 children, François, Dominique, Vincent, Martine and Julien–semicolon– grandfather to Matthew, Joel, Joshuah, Stefan, Elyse, and Jean-Philippe–semicolon– and great grandfather to Tristan Julien “TJ” and Hailey.

Fernand travelled west with his new bride, to Edmonton in 1954 from Quebec to work as a journeyman tinsmith in his brother’s shop, Edmonton Tinsmith Supplies. His skill and ingenuity in the shop was recognized by his colleagues and throughout his long career in HVAC. There was no problem that Fernand could not solve.

He was an active member of his parish and a member of the Third Order of St Francis. A cultured man and avid reader, Fern had a passion for ballroom dancing, and his love for music was passed on to his children. Fernand will be missed by his many friends and family.

A Prayer Service will take place at 7:00 p.m., on Monday, April 17, 2017, at Connelly-McKinley Funeral Home, 10011 – 114 Street, Edmonton.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m., on Tuesday, April 18, 2017, at St. Thomas d’Aquin Church, 8410 – 89 Street, Edmonton. Interment will follow at Holy Cross Cemetery, 14611 Mark Messier Trail, Edmonton.

Memorial donations in memory of Fernand may be made to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, PO: Box 11532 Station Main, Edmonton AB T5J 3K7.

    Heartfelt condolences to Fern’s family.
    Jim and I both knew Fern – Jim who worked for Fern at ETS as well as I who also worked there and as the daughter of Leigh Tracy who was General Manager at ETS working with Fern for many years.
    We will always remember him for his humor and his dedication to family and friends.

    To the Roy family. I had the absolute pleasure of knowing Fern through my father Leigh Tracy. I also had the rich experience of being able to work in his presence over several summers at Edmonton Tinsmith. Fern was an absolute joy to be around. In the rough and tumble atmosphere of that sheet metal shop, Fern was indeed brilliance in a dim world. He was one of my inspirations to go on to become a journeyman Tinsmith as well as go on to formal academic education. Peace to you all. Patrick Tracy, Edmonton Police Service Retired, Chaplain, Burnaby RCMP Detachment.
