Born in East Gore, he was a son of the late James and Pearl (MacLeod) DeMont. Roy was a long-time employee of the Department of Transportation as a construction foreman and a heavy equipment operator. He will be remembered for his dedication and skill in getting the highways open after major winter storms. Roy spent many years playing softball in a local league and was involved with several bowling leagues. He enjoyed camping, his many clocks, bargain hunting for treaslures at flea markets and yard sales, and a “good smoke” of his pipe. Roy’s family was his first priority. “Papa” was dedicated to making sure his “girls” and their families were okay. His grandchildren were his pride and joy, and he always looked forward to spending time with them. Papa will also be missed by his faithful companion Lucy.
