Born in Halifax NS, to Roy and Pat Carmichael; Roy was a favourite cousin of Jim Whalen with whom he spent his young life. After moving to Windsor, he spent much of his youth with lifelong best friends, John, Vic, and Brian (now deceased). Roy expressed how much he enjoyed those teenage years many times. Roy was a longtime employee of Ford Motor Company both in Windsor and the St. Thomas plants. In his retirement, he enjoyed taking his dog, Reilly to the park; they would ride together in Roy's scooter. After Reilly, Jake was adopted into the family, and eventually he learned to hop on the scooter too. They regualrily visited the dog part in Strathroy, where they met and made many friends. Roy enjoyed cooking, making peanut brittle, cookies, apple pie and his special lemon marangue pie, as well as many dinners. He was always ready to lend a helping hand. He enjoyed cutting the neighbours' lawns on occasion as well as snowblowing driveways and roadways near his home. He had been very active, until no longer able.
