Frank Roy

August 17, 1944 - January 17, 2019

ERROL — Francis “Frank” G. Roy, 74, of Errol passed away on Thursday afternoon, Jan. 17, 2019, at his home, with his wife by his side. He was born in Concord, NH, on Aug. 17, 1944, a son to the late Ernest E. and Ruby (Loomis) Roy. Frank was raised in Concord by his aunt, Irene N. Locke, and was a 1962 graduate of Concord High School. He later served honorably in the U.S. Army. For many years, Frank was the purchasing agent for R.S. Audley, Inc., construction firm in Bow. In his spare time, the Concord Men’s Softball League was his passion, and as pitcher for many years on different teams, he held the record for a 61-game winning streak, a record that remains to this day. He loved all other sports as well, including hockey and golf, and he was a racing and NASCAR fan, as well. He retired and moved to his beloved camp in Errol in the early 90s, where he was also known to have the best and fanciest grill that he never cooked on (but others did). Snowmobiling was Frank’s love in the north country, and he was instrumental in the formation and management of the Umbagog Snowmobile Club in Errol, where he was the long-time trail administrator. He was proud to have been inducted into the “Iron Dog Brigade” in 2015. He is survived by his beloved wife of more than 28 years, Karen (Labrie) Roy of Errol; a daughter, Lynn (Troy) Soares of Manchester, NH; one brother; and two grandchildren. At the request of the family there are no public services.
