Popular Manxman to be laid to rest
A Manxman with an infectious zest for life will be remembered later today (Friday).
That’s how Kirk Michael man Roy Kennaugh has been described ahead of his funeral this afternoon at 1:30pm.
He was involved in numerous aspects of Island life up until his sudden death between Christmas and the New Year.
Long-time friend Bernard Moffatt said he was a key figure in culture and showed the value of putting back into the community:
