It is with great sadness that the family of Roy Goodwin announces his passing on Monday Nov. 17, 2014 at the age of 81 years.

He co-owned and worked at Stuart Lake Lumber for many years until his retirement in 1999. He was an avid outdoorsman and spent many years hunting, river fishing and in his boat on Stuart Lake.

Roy was preceded in death by his loving wife Jannette, parents Arthur and Charlotte Goodwin, brother Robert (Janet) Goodwin, sister Bella (Norman) LePoidevin, brother–in-law Victor Gerhardi and brother–in-law Henry Unger.
