Seadrift – Roy Hugh Cameron, Jr., “Little Roy”, 61, passed away quietly on Friday, February 21, 2014, after a short illness. He was born August 21, 1952 in Edinberg. He served in the Air Force, enjoyed fishing, coached little league baseball, and entertaining his friends at Shrimp Fest.
Little Roy, as he was fondly called, not because of his height but because he shared his dad’s name, spent many years in the oil fields. In the later years he could be found processing oysters at Chunky Monkeys.
He is preceded in death by mother, Margy Morris Hanahan; father, Roy H. Sr.; brother, Douglas John; brother-in-law, Andy Britton; and a nephew, Lester King.
He is survived by his siblings, Shirley Nobles (Don) of Yoakum, Brenda Britton of John’s Island, SC, Jeri Sue Hood (Robert) of San Antonio, Lester Dickinson (Judy) of Tilden, Priscilla Viskil (Roel) of Largo, FL.; many nieces, nephews, grand nieces, nephews, cousins; and a special aunt, Georgie Dade.
He will be missed not only by his family but by his many friends, especially Timmy, Stephanie, Trenton, Homer, Patsy, and Mike.
A very special thank you goes out to the Goodmans, Stephanie, Timmie, and Trenton, for their unconditional loving care in his last days.
A memorial service was held on the Bayfront in Seadrift on Sunday, March 2, 2014.
Burial was on Thursday, March 6, 2014 at Wood High Cemetery in Telferner.
