Paul Clarke, leader at HDC, said: “Roy was a kind person, always willing to help new councillors, myself included. He was an honest man and had a good sense of humour, which was needed because of his love of football.

“He always looked out for his residents in Roffey South. He will be sadly missed by myself and colleagues from all political sides.”

Roy’s funeral will be held at 2pm on Monday October 11 at Methodist Church, London Road, Horsham, followed by interment at Roffey Cemetery.

Refreshments afterwards will be from 3.30pm at Roffey Sports & Social Club and all are welcome.
