HUNTLY, Rev. Roy

Aug 24, 2016

Passed away peacefully at Fairmount Home on August 20, 2016 after 86 years of a life fully and well lived. His beloved wife Muriel predeceased him in 2013 and they leave behind their children Juliet (Michael), Alyson (Andrea), Martin (Rachel) and Theresa; 11 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Roy grew up in England and then spent three years in Jamaica serving in the Congregationalist church in Kingston before the family immigrated to Canada in 1967 where Roy was a minister in the United Church of Canada, serving congregations, Conference offices and chaplaincies in Quebec and Ontario. Roy was an active long-time member of Harrowsmith United Church and subsequently Sydenham Street United Church in Kingston. His friends and family will remember his wit, his artistic eye, his generous commitment to social justice and the grace and dignity with which he faced his final years. The family is deeply appreciative of the care Roy received from numerous gentle caregivers in his home and from the exceptional staff at Fairmount Home. A celebration of his life will take place at 11:00 am on September 12, 2016 at Sydenham Street United Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Sydenham Street United Church or the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.
