MARTIN, Roy S. Martin - 83, passed away, surrounded by his loving family at home, on September 30, 2021, after a short battle with cancer.
He was born on November 22, 1937 in Odessa, Ontario, to Bill and Gladys "Battle" Martin.
Roy was passionate about sports as a participant and as an avid fan.
In his youth, hockey and football occupied his time and he had the nickname "Diesel" that emphasized his speed and athleticism.
Roy was a proud graduate of Queen's University in 1961, who continued his later education at the University of Toronto. During his early career, he was a valuable member of the Jaycees.
On June 30, 1962, Roy married his high school sweetheart Helenanne Mouldey in Kingston, Ontario.
After a very successful career in Human Resources at Xerox Canada, Roy could be found golfing, traveling, wintering in Myrtle Beach and spending time with his family and friends.
Roy is survived by: his wife, Helenanne; his children Kelly (Phil), Tracy (Steven) and Shane; five admiring and adoring grandchildren Paige, Torri, Reese, Connor and Quinn; two loving sisters Betty Windsor and Norma Wing; and many caring nieces and nephews who he cherished spending time with.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
Memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer Society are appreciated.
