    BOLTON, CT & PRESQUE ISLE, ME – Robert E. Roix, 88, went home to be with the Lord on November 30, 2014, after a long illness. He was born November 6, 1926, in Presque Isle, the son of Delbert Everett and Ethel Walker Roix. 
    Bob was a lifelong resident of Presque Isle until July 2012, when he and his wife, Dolores, sold their home and moved to Bolton, CT, to be with their daughter, Torrie, and family. Having them close has been a blessing to the family.
    Bob attended Presque Isle schools. He went into the U.S. Army in February 1945, serving in the United States, the Philippines and South Korea. Upon returning from the service, he was employed by Byron Hartford, R. W. Wight and Son, and the U.S. Postal Service until retiring in 1984. Before and after retirement, Bob and Dolores enjoyed many activities together among them bridge, square dancing, boating, members of the snowmobiling club, golfing, and seeing their children and grandchildren more as they travelled the country in their RV.
    Bob was a member of the Bethany Baptist Church where he served the Lord as a Sunday School bus driver many years ago. He served as a deacon and as a member of the Prudential Committee. He loved visitation to the elderly until his health no longer permitted it.
    He is survived by his loving and caring wife of 65 years, Dolores Scott Roix; a daughter, Torrie Fox and husband, Duane, of Bolton, Ct; a son, Scott Roix and wife, Patty, of Colorado; six grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews.
    In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brother, Ralph; and sister, Robertine.
    In honor of his wishes, there was no funeral. There will be a graveside service in Presque Isle in early summer for family and friends. Online condolences may be expressed at www.duncangraves.com.
