In Loving Memory of
Mr Roy Grice
With the deepest sorrow and broken hearts, we announce the passing of our much-loved Roy Grice, who peacefully passed away on 21st July 2026 at Rotherham Hospital, surrounded by the love and comfort of his devoted family.
Roy was a truly kind, caring and gentle man whose warmth, humour and unwavering love touched everyone fortunate enough to know him. He was a devoted husband, a proud father, a treasured grandfather and a loyal friend. His love for his family was at the centre of everything he did, and the memories he created will be cherished forever.
Roy is now reunited with his beloved wife, Aileen Grice, the love of his life. Their love was one built on years of devotion, laughter and precious memories, and we take comfort in knowing they are together once again.
Although our hearts are filled with sadness, we are incredibly grateful for the wonderful years we shared with Roy. His gentle smile, kind words, strength, wisdom and generous heart will never be forgotten. His presence brought comfort, happiness and laughter to those around him, and his memory will continue to inspire all who knew and loved him.
Roy leaves behind a loving family who will miss him beyond words:
Daniel Grice – Son
Angelina Grice – Daughter
Hannah Grice – Daughter-in-law
A devoted and proud Grandad to:
Harry
Zane
Amaya
Brogan
His grandchildren were a constant source of pride and joy. He adored every moment spent with them and leaves them with memories of unconditional love, kindness, laughter and guidance that they will carry in their hearts for the rest of their lives.
To us, Roy was so much more than a husband, dad or grandad. He was the heart of our family, a source of strength through difficult times and someone whose love knew no limits. His gentle nature, quiet wisdom, infectious smile and caring soul made everyone feel welcome and valued. He taught us the importance of kindness, patience and putting family first, and those lessons will stay with us forever.
While it is impossible to imagine life without him, we take comfort in knowing that the love he gave us can never be taken away. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the memories we share and the family he loved so deeply.
