Roy Percy Nelder passed peacefully on January 21, 2012 at the age of 92 surrounded by family and his loving wife of 63 years. Born in Plymouth England, he immigrated to Canada where he worked on the Avro Arrow team. After the Arrow's demise, Roy took his family to Michigan where he was a designer for GMC Fisher Body. Roy left Canada but he never left the beautiful Muskoka lakes he loved so much. Dad we know you are flying your world-champion glider and playing tennis among the stars. We will miss you and remember to always think young, measure twice and steer clear of the dock. Roy is survived by his wife Anne; his children, Susan (Bill) Graybill, Jane (Monier) Francis, Dave (Brenda) Nelder, Carol (Ron) Corvari and Sandy Smith; and his eleven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
