Roy’s proudest moments in life was being a father and grandfather.  He had seven grandchildren whom he loved dearly.  A major accomplishment in his life was receiving his GED.  Roy was a happy soul who loved everyone and would do anything for anybody.  He enjoyed riding his bike around town and visiting all his many friends and his relatives.  He also enjoyed having a few “cold ones” and socializing with his friends.  He loved listening and singing along to country music and had a passion for playing the guitar. In his younger days, he was also an avid NASCAR fan and enjoyed collecting NASCAR coats.  He loved watching football with his dog, Cowboy, by his side cheering on his favorite team, the Redskins.  Roy was well known and loved by all.  He had a very close friend by the name of John Mount, whom he nicknamed “Blackie”.  Roy is at peace now up in the Heavens with his sons, his brother, ‘JJ” and his other beloved family members. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. 

Roy’s children would like to extend their thanks to the Mount Family for all of their love, support and prayers, and to all of his friends who prayed for him.  A special thanks to the nurses at the Glens Falls Hospital for the care they had given to Roy.
