We got on well and Andrina also became a good friend to my wife and me. <br /><br />Roy was a quiet and gentle soul, overcoming his deafness with patience and fortitude. He served the congregation of St. John's, Pittenween with diligence, first as Deacon and then Priest. He was also a valued member of our St. Andrews and East Neuk Team Ministry, serving alongside the late Gregor Macgregor (then Priest in Charge of St. Michael's, Elie), who subsequently became the Bishop of Moray.<br /><br />I am glad of my long-time friendship with this fine human being and sensitive Christian priest.<br /><br />HUGH MAGEEThe Reverend Canon F.
