Roy wascacgreat story teller and joke deliverer but morecthan that, he had a big heart and was never too busy to help anyone who needed it. The world will be a little colder, a little smaller, and a little lesser, without Roy in it. Rest in peace, Roy. Love and condolences to Julie and Penny. Lynne and John Brehaut.

What a generous and happy man. Roy came to the assistance of his brother John and they both did a a lot of work in fencing here at Garfield North after the early 2019 fire destroyed all our farm infrastructure. Perhaps his greatest impact to us came over the many months of giving his time and toil and the accompanying jokes and stories did a lot to raise our spirits when we most needed it. And he loved apple pie with cream and ice cream, beaming and laughing as he anticipated another helping at the next visit.

A true friend is never truly gone. Their spirit lives on in the memories of those who loved them. They say friends are the family we choose. Roy was one of my chosen family and very special person. Loved by everybody. I will miss his jokes and our conversations. May he rest in peace Our deepest sympathies and condolences to Julie, Penny and the rest of the Franklin family. Your friends Tony and Josie

Condolences to Julie and family. Roy will be sadly missed.

Julie and Penny, sending all my love, Roy was one of the best men I knew, he gave me time, told me a million stories and helped me out more than once. I’m so sorry to hear he has passed, he was one in a million and I and my daughter Taysia will remember him always. Taysia still remembers him teaching her to drive the John Deere when she was little.

Sincere condolences to Julie and Penny on the passing of your beloved Roy. Roy was such a lovely man. We were always so pleased when Roy was the bus driver for our excursions. He always had a welcoming smile and a genuine interest in what was happening for the day. Roy was so generous. He even invited us to visit his farm and gave many Morwell Park students, staff and parents the opportunity to experience the calves, cows and pony and the wide open spaces at his beautiful property. He has left us with so many lovely memories.

Roy was always a hard working and cheery man who was always ready with a joke. Deepest condolences to Julie and Penny. Our thoughts are with you Anne, Vern, David, Erin, Cara, Josh and Ella Garth

Roy loved a good yarn and a good joke. Enjoyed my time working with him on his farm and at LVBL. Will be missed.

Thankful you were able to enjoy Lakes Entrance in Sept with Mum & Dad.. Sending the biggest hugs and love to Julie, Penny and all the extended families.. Love always The Lubawski’s x

Dear Julie, Penny and family, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Knowing your Roy enriched my life and I will be forever grateful for all the lessons I learned from him.. Rest In Peace Roy.

We are saddened to hear of Roy’s passing. Ron and Roy worked together at L.V. Bus Lines, and Ron had great memories of Roy regularly bringing back a couple of slices from the Rosedale Bakery to have on their tea break.
Roy would regularly pop in to our factory for a cuppa and chat, which was thoroughly enjoyed.

Going way back when our children went on School excursions, we knew they were in good hands with Roy at the wheel.
Condolences to Julie and Penny. Two good mates now driving in the clouds.

Saying farewell to a friend that we made at the river fishing. Had plans of spending many more days together, enjoying your company, jokes and a beer.

Roy was an amazing man who always found time to help others. He taught me a lot about farm work and gave a 19 year old a chance to help run a dairy when plenty of people wouldn’t.
Sending all my love to Julie and Penny
