Roy Scott Waldron
January 9, 1965 — February 15, 2024
FRANKFORT – Roy Scott Waldron, age 59, of Ferguson Road, passed away peacefully, at home, on Thursday morning, February 15, 2024, with his loving wife, Sandy and family, by his side.
He was born on January 9, 1965, in Ilion, the son of Joseph and Shirley (Truax) Waldron. Roy attended Ilion schools. He was a Veteran of our country, serving from 1983 until 1991, in the U.S. Army. On April 5, 1997, he was married to Sandra L. Budukiewicz, at St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church, Ilion and enjoyed every moment of marriage with her. They have been attending New Life Church together, of Herkimer. Roy was employed in the Transportation Industry for well over thirty-five years, with his last place of employment at ERL Intermodal, Utica and other companies through the years. Roy’s pleasant nature reflected upon all of us in an entirely positive manner. He always made us smile and would do just about anything to raise our levels of happiness. He was very patient, even when he did not have to be. One of the greatest memories ever bestowed upon us and especially to his grandchildren was his inventing of “The Cool Walk.”
Surviving family members include his beloved wife, Sandy; his children, Amanda Marlowe, Christy Duncan, John Salek and Richard Salek (Jessica); nine grandchildren, Kay, Annalyse, Arabella, Logan, Lacey, Emma, Taraji, Reina and Skyler; his sister, Kimberly Klock (Jeff); his brother, Joseph Paul Waldron (Brenda J.); his half-sister, Kimberly Rosario; several uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins; as well as sisters-in-law; brothers-in-law; and his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Carolyn and John Nownes.
He was predeceased by his parents.
