Roy Lee Schermerhorn

July 28, 1950 - April 29, 2017

Roy Lee Schermerhorn, 66, of Harford Township, entered into rest on April 29, 2017 with his beloved family by his side. He is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Suzanne. Also surviving are three children, Scott Schermerhorn and fiancée Cindy, Troy and Nicole Schermerhorn, and Brandi and Jason Miller; five grandchildren, Troy Jr., Nicholas, twins Madison and Michael, and Colin; his sisters, Linda and James Hunter and Teresa and Rick Brown; brothers, Gary Schermerhorn and Charles and Connie Jackson; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his devoted mother, Elda Jackson. Roy drove a truck for Brojack Lumber and enjoyed meeting people while on the job. He kept his hands busy, with woodworking, building houses, and enjoying the outdoors. He was a NASCAR race fan and spent many vacations on Daytona Beach. Roy could entertain anyone with his many stories and will be remembered for the enthusiastic way he told them with his distinct laugh. From the moment he met Suzanne, he knew she was The One. Roy’s determination and values set him apart. He loved and cherished his grandchildren and delighted in every moment with them. The family wishes to thank Lourdes’ Hospice Unit for their compassionate, loving care. A celebration of his life will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, May 13, 2017 at the Gibson United Methodist Church, Gibson, PA. Friends may call from 9-11 a.m. at the church, prior to the service.
