Roy Thomas Partridge Roy passed away peacefully on April 18, 2016 at the age of 91 at Kamloops Seniors Village. Roy is fondly remembered by his children Sandra (Chris), Gordon (Brenda), Pamela (Ken), as well as seven grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife of 41 years Alice in 1991. Also predeceased by his brother Austin, sister Doreen and stepson Gary. Roy was born in Drewsteignton, Devon, England January 7, 1925 and moved to Canada with his family when he was only 2 years old. He spent his younger years growing up on a ranch in the foothills of Alberta just north of Lundbrick. The family moved to BC in 1937. He proudly served his country during World War II with 122 Marine Squadron as a seaman on “G” MTB type boats both on patrol and in Air-Sea rescues. He maintained his membership in the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 52 after the war and recently received recognition for being a member for 70 continuous years. Roy married Alice in Mission, BC in 1949 then moved to Kamloops, where he was employed by CP Rail until his retirement in 1985. He loved his family dearly including all the time he got to play and fish with his grandchildren. Even as he struggled with dementia in his final years the sight or sound of a young child always brought a big smile to his face. Roy lived most of life in Kamloops on his property located down the Old Hudson Bay Trail, in the area know as Dufferin. He served his community as a Regional Director, an Alderman of Dufferin and then Mayor of Dufferin. He was also on the Mayors Advisory Committee when Dufferin amalgamated with the City of Kamloops in 1973. Before moving to Kamloops Seniors Village he always maintained a big garden and liked working in his yard with his many fruit trees. Roy will be missed by all who knew him, for his kind helping hand, his genuine sense of humor, always being ready with a joke to tell and that piece of candy he would hand out at the end of the talk. The family would like to thank all those involved in Roy’s life at Kamloops Seniors Village for their kind and concerning care they provided our Dad in the final years of his life. Dad requested that in lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor his memory can donate to a charity of their choice. A Memorial Service will be held at Schoenings Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour St, Kamloops on Saturday April 23, 2016 at 10:00 am.
