    Debra Fox

    7 Oct 2015

    Debra Fox Roy's health steeply declined after Dave died in 2013, they were so close and had spoken everyday. They had been through so much, apart and together since their childhood, yet they were two of the loveliest men with the biggest hearts. The irony is that they both died from heart failure. We were so happy to have them back in our lives after we left Nairobi , when in the summer of 1993 they came on holiday with us in Cornwall (see photo on the ferry from Rock to Padstow). The photo of Roy (profile picture) was taken at Dave's wedding some years later and captures that unmistakable naughty giggle of his. Wonderful brothers, special memories xxx

    Roy you always made me laugh! I always looked forward to seeing you and hearing you tell stories from "back in the day"...the clearest memory I have is you dropping me at the train station to get my flight back home...we were late coz we spent too much time gossiping at Heather's. Well, we finally made it after much laughter and weaving through Lon...

    So sad that Roy and Dave have both passed away...such a big part of our youth in those halcyon days in Kenya, when we all enjoyed the very best it had to offer, they are both sadly missed. xx

    Everyone will be saying kwaheri to you tomorrow Roy - you have touched so many people and your memories will live on. I have fond memories of our summer holidays together growing up and all the spankings I received cause of the trouble we would get into. I miss you Roy and always know you have a special place in my heart. God speed and take car...

    So long Roy. I wish we could have seen one another more than we did but thats life hey. Always enjoyed our chats and as usual you had me in hysterics.

We will post the text on the memorial site so keep an eye out. Oh, and the service after was for a ...

    Debra Fox24 Oct 2015

    Hey Roy, without even trying you were the best stand up comedian. You made every party fun. I'll search for some photos to post, but I would have been laughing too much to take a decent picture.

    Davina Leonard A sweet ceremony to prepare Roy for his last trip back to Kenya in December. Fittingly, the ceremony after us had two bag pipers in full garb, kilts and all which was very fitting! Lee Weeks read a lovely piece about Roy and his abounding kindness.

    So sadly missed Roy even now - whenever I hear a piece of music on the radio, I want to 'what's app' it to you - we had such fun those last few months with the 'what's app' connection - interacting with you brought back good memories of our youth in Kenya !!

    Kathy Cromer-Wilson17 Oct 2016

    Davina Leonard4 Nov 2016

    Affectionately known as "Rock Hound" I was always dragged along by Treens as the sprog brother, I will remember his Kikuyu impersonation at The Norfolk which had us all including staff rolling on the floor In fact whenever you were with him he had everyone smiling and laughing Kwaheri Roy RIP

    Dave Mckelvie5 Nov 2016

    Roy was that irritating junior at Duko that got under your skin because he was so funny , made you laugh , and envious that you did not have that same sense of humour and banter . Flash forward to about 73/74 in Nairobi , Roy doing his Jomo Kenyatta speech at my flat party opposite Valley Secretarial , if you closed your eyes it was the Pres himse...
