CHICOPEE - The Paradis family has lost a beloved member. On September 2nd Roy passed away after his courageous battle with cancer.
If we could write a story it would be the greatest ever told, of a kind and loving father who had a heart of gold. We will remember all he’s taught us and he will always be in our hearts. Roy loved unconditionally and his passions were simple, having his family around him. His day wasn’t complete without his walk around the reservoir and his breakfast after at Al’s Diner. Roy had a love for food, most people eat to live he lived to eat. He loved the Red Sox and enjoyed spending time on the beach in Naples, Florida. He retired in 2008 after a lifelong career as a printer.
