Reynold Roy Obituary (1949 - 2023)

Reynold "Ray" Roy, 74, of Zephyrhills, Florida, formerly of Scarborough, passed away on Sunday, May 7, 2023, at Southern Maine Health Care in Sanford. Ray was born to Adrian and Bertha (Nadeau) Roy on February 8, 1949, in Fort Kent, Maine. He spent his formative years in Fort Kent, where he attended local schools and graduated from Fort Kent Community High School. Following his graduation, Ray relocated to Connecticut and began working for Fafnir Bearing Company. Simultaneously, he pursued his passion for computer science by attending school, eventually obtaining his degree. Ray then returned to Maine and embarked on a fulfilling career as a computer room manager at Maine National Bank in Portland. Later in life, he became co-owner of Sparkle and Shine Commercial Cleaning Company. In 2013, Ray retired and, along with his wife, sold their home, settling in Zephyrhills, Florida. Each year, they returned to Maine, spending their summers at Walnut Grove Campground in Alfred. Ray also recently discovered a love for bowling. He cherished spending time with friends, but above all, he treasured moments with his family. Traveling with his wife brought him immense joy. May Ray's warm memories and the love he shared continue to bring comfort to his family and friends during this difficult time. Ray is survived by his loving wife of 41 years, Brenda Roy; four sons, Christopher Roy and his wife Renee of Torrington, CT, Jeffrey Roy and his wife Sharla of Torrington, CT, Michael Roy of South Portland, and William Roy and his wife Brittany of Old Orchard Beach; two siblings, Richard Roy and his wife Lucille of Fort Kent, ME, and Nancy Corriveau of St. Agatha, ME; eight grandchildren, Nicolas, Olivia, Brenden, Lauren, Adam, Blake, Brady, and Avery, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Ray was preceded in death by his parents, Adrian and Bertha Roy, and two siblings, Adrian Roy, Jr. of Plainville, CT, and Roland Roy of Plantsville, Connecticut. In accordance with Ray's wishes, there will be no formal funeral services. A Celebration of Life will be held later this summer, and details will be announced at a later date.
