With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce the sudden passing of our husband and father, Roy Joseph Rozeck on February 6, 2015. Dad was born on November 26, 1937 in Kimberley, BC. He met his wife Louise in Clinton, BC and they were married in August of 1963. They moved to Kamloops and raised their family. Roy worked for the School District for 25 years. In the last couple of years, we bought our dad an IPAD and he was introduced to the computer world of slots, texting and facebook. He loved keeping in touch and up to date with what his friends and family were up to. Roy was predeceased by his father Joseph, mother Olive, stepfather Wally Fleishman, and brother’s Norman and Ron. Roy will be lovingly remembered by his wife Louise, children Connie (Rob de la Gorgendiere), Dan (Sharleen Ivanauskas), Tracy (Shane Armstrong), grandchildren Tyler Armstrong, Quinton Armstrong (Emma Christy), and Alyssa and Jagger de la Gorgendiere. He is also survived by his brothers Art (Sandy), Larry (Kelly) and numerous nieces and nephews.
Our family would like to say a special thank you to the doctors and nurses in Emergency and ICU at Royal Inland Hospital and especially to Natalie Manhard for all of your care and kindness you have shown to our Dad over the years. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Roy to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home.
The Memorial Service will be held on Friday, March 27th at 11:00 a.m. in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Drive.
