Roy Colpitts

  It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Roy Vincent Colpitts, 74, of Colpitts Settlement on Sunday, January 8, 2017.

  Born in Colpitts Settlement, he was the son of the late Lorne and Clara (Carter) Colpitts.   With a smile on his face and a spark of mischief in his eyes, Roy could be counted on to make anyone smile and laugh with his crazy ways and his shenanigans.  Roy loved to spend time at the camp playing horseshoes and washer toss with his friends and family.  He loved to be in the woods, no matter if he was cutting wood for winter or going on the great moose hunt.  He looked forward to the moose draw like a kid looks forward to Christmas each year. 

  Roy was a husband of 52 years to Donna (Carr), a father to Darrin (Lisa), Vicky (Derrick), Aricka (Roger), Jodi (Darren) and Travis (Cindy).  He was a wonderful "Papa" to Danielle, Alexandria, Brody, Taylor, Hayden, Noah, Savanah, Jaxen, Chase and Jacob.  He will be missed by his brother Kenny (Eleanor), his sister Peggy and many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. 

  Besides his parents, Roy was predeceased by his brothers Cecil, Douglas, Weldon and Lorne; his sisters Margaret, Inez and Pauline.

  He was loved by all he knew and everyone he met.  He was kind and courteous with a great big open heart.  He will be greatly missed and always loved.

  There will be no service by personal request.  Arrangements are in the care of Salisbury Funeral Home and Crematorium (372-4800).  Interment at a later date.

  If desired, memorials to the Moncton SPCA would be appreciated by the family.
