    Florence and Kenny Chambers we’re sorry to learn of Roy’s passing and our thoughts are with all his family.
    We enjoyed chats with him when he visited N Ireland, Uncle Bill Pollock was a great friend as well as Bertie Smyth from Banbridge.
    He will be sadly missed by you all. Florence

    So sorry to hear of Roy’s passing. My dad was a first cousin to Roy (Stanley Bingham). Dad enjoyed meeting up with him when he came back to N Ireland. They will both be enjoying the chats in heaven ❤️
