I knew Roy when we both were young in Fiji. He was 3 years younger than me. His father Bill was crew on an royal NZ Air Force flying boat that made an epic and perilous journey from Singapore to Suva early in WW2. There he met our parent’s good friend Joan. They were a great couple. Our families and his met up again in the late 1950s when we moved to Auckland from Fiji. I lost touch later. He made Bill and Joan proud of him as no doubt his sisters did. RIP. Sa Moce from Ian McPherson and Frank Freeman

My deepest sympathy to you all. Remembering Roy for his endless patience, kindnesses and hospitality over many years, both to me in early and latter years and especially to Peter and I as a couple. My grateful thanks to the Dorothy and Roy team .A long and enduring partnership. Roy was always a reliable resourceful source of knowledge and that wonderful home he designed and built stands testament to his meticulous eye for detail and style. Travel to NZ will never be the same with this sudden loss of a lovely gentle man. A true friend. An inspiration to all that age never precludes enjoyment of pursuing the activities you love and ceaseless caring for others . Thinking of all the family as you share precious moments of Roy . With much love, Elaine (Lainey)

Such a beautiful service, did Roy justice. I would love to have been with you today to remember Roy and celebrate his life and achievements.I will always remember Roy’s warm quiet smile and chuckles, and find peace knowing the brothers are together again. My love to you Dorothy, James and Warwick xx

Hi Dorothy Sad to read of Roy´s passing. It sounds like he had good care before his final farewell. If you need any help I´m happy to be there for you as it isn´t easy as I´ve found. Big hugs take care. X

I knew Roy for all of the more than 22 years I worked for Works Consultancy Services and then Opus, he was a good man, a kind man, a very skilled professional who worked diligently alongside his colleagues and would help anyone. He had a ready smile, a great sense of humour and I can see him smiling now in my mind's eye as my abiding memory of him. He will be missed by all who knew him, he was one of the best. A great loss to family and friends.

I'm saddened to hear of Roy's passing. I worked closely with him for many years, particularly on Albany University. I greatly admired his dedication, integrity, professionalism and technical knowledge. He was a lovely soul to work alongside. My deepest sympathy for his family.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of our former colleague, Roy. Roy was a valued member of the Architecture family for many decades before his retirement. His dedication and professionalism left a lasting impact on us. Please accept our heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Dorothy, James, Warwick and family. Roy will be greatly missed, but his legacy will live on in the many lives he touched. With deepest sympathy from the WSP Architecture Team (formerly Opus)
