Paul Roy, 84, of Fitchburg, passed away peacefully on September 19, 2022 at home surrounded by his loving family.
Paul was born in St. Marie, NB, Canada, on April 28, 1938, the first son of the late Alyre and Marie (Bastarache) Roy. Paul spent his career working in contracting, eventually owning Roy Brother’s Siding for over 25 years. He found great pleasure in tinkering around the house with projects and working around the yard. Paul was an avid hockey fan, rooting for his favorite team, the Montreal Canadiens. Every summer Paul always looked forward to vacationing in New Brunswick with his wife and family.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Doris (Bastarache) Roy; three children, Paulette Roy-Tata of Fitchburg, Steven Roy and wife Carla of Baldwinville, Nelson Roy of Winchendon; grandchildren, Christopher, Monique, Lillian, Zachary, and Nicholette; siblings, Ida Boucher and husband Paul of Fitchburg, Leo Roy and wife Maria of TN, Victor Roy and wife Diane of Leominster, Florence Henrie and husband Ernest of Fitchburg, Denise Roy and husband Bernard of Leominster, Ronald Roy and wife Denise of Leominster; many nieces and nephews.
Paul was predeceased by his brother Roger Roy.
