Date de naissance : 11 septembre 1951
Date de décès : 16 mars 2019
We, the family of Roy Lewis Taylor, regret to announce his passing at home on Saturday, March 16, 2019, surrounded by his loving family.
Born September 11, 1951, in Glace Bay, he was the son of Eileen (Sweet) Taylor and the late V. Lester Taylor. He was raised in Sydney by the late Roy and Katie Cole.
During his younger years, Roy was a proud member of the Sydney and District Little League Cubs. Years later, Roy would spend his summer months coaching his beloved Cubbies and, in the winter, could be found in numerous rinks throughout the province, cheering on Greg and Brent. In 1995, Roy and family ventured to Inuvik, NT, where they would call home, before returning to Sydney in 2011.
Roy is survived by his wife, Corinne (MacNeil); stepsons, Greg (Jillian) Connell, Inverness and Brent Connell (and his son, Parker), Hay River, NT; daughters, Linda and Catherine; son, Michael; eight grandchildren (all in Ontario); brother, Kirk, Leitches Creek.
Roy was true to form in the Frank Sinatra song, “I did it my way”.
Special thanks to Dr. Anne Frances D’Intino, Linda Murphy and Holly Winn for taking such wonderful care of Roy. We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our friends and family for their continued support throughout Roy’s courageous fight.
The family will hold an open house in celebration of Roy’s life on Saturday, March 23, 2019, from 1- 4 p.m., located at 10 Maclellan Ave., Sydney Forks.
Memorials may be made to the Hospice Palliative Care Society of Cape Breton County.
