Roy Godfrey Cronin
June 17, 1946 - January 14, 2025
Tribute
Roy Godfrey Cronin, 78, passed away January 14, 2025 on Salt Spring Island. He leaves behind his wife Cathy, brothers Dan (Ann), Pete (Joanne), Mitch (Diana), his daughter Kasandra (Dan), and four sons, Julian (Liz), Brad (Jasmine), Geoff (Carolina) and Rob (Vanessa). He was predeceased by brother Kent in 2023. Roy had three grandchildren; Monica, Archer and Miles, and another coming.
Roy was raised in Scarborough Ontario as the oldest of five brothers. He left engineering school and came to Salt Spring in the early 70’s, working in firewood cutting, wood carving, clock making and construction. He built a house and ran his own glass business for over 30 years.
Roy was gentle, witty and kind. He was interested in people and enjoyed activities with friends including darts, fishing and golf. He enjoyed puzzles, jazz, and birds.
Roy touched many people, though most of his friends hadn’t seen him for a while. A heart
condition kept him close to home, and finally took him from us.
Roy’s family would like to thank Dr. Dan Kalf and the wonderful nurses and doctors who cared for him at the Lady Minto and Royal Jubilee.
A celebration of Roy’s life will be held later in the year.
