Roy was born on St. Joseph Island, Ontario to Irene and Benjamin Davidson. While in Ontario in his younger years, Roy sailed the great lakes. He moved to Calgary in 1968 where he fell into the scrap metal industry and would spend his remaining years. In Alberta, he enjoyed hiking in the mountains. Roy was an avid sports fan who enjoyed watching baseball and hockey, cheering on his favorite team; Chicago Blackhawks. He was a funny guy who could always make everyone laugh. He was animated and didn’t even need to speak to show how he felt. You can tell just by the look on his face!
Roy loved spending time with his friends and family. He enjoyed going out for coffee and breakfast with his friend Billy Bishop. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
