The staff of the Thomas Crane Public Library was devastated to learn of the sudden and untimely passing of Library Trustee Roy Caley.
Roy was a member of the Board of Library Trustees for the past couple of years, most recently serving as Secretary. He brought a calm, thoughtful, measured and intentional voice to deliberations, and cared deeply about the Library, and about the greater Quincy community. Roy was instrumental in the initiative to provide appreciation events for the staff, and had an amazing sense of how to host an event and make people feel welcome and valued.
A kind, generous man, he will be missed tremendously. From the TCPL family to Roy’s family (who he spoke of lovingly and often), our profound gratitude for his service, and our sympathies.
A Mass and Celebration of Life will be held at the Parish of All Saints, Ashmont (209 Ashmont Street Dorchester MA 02124) on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at 1:00 PM with a reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to All Saints Ashmont for the Roy Scott Caley Memorial Scholarship, supporting student education in the Ashmont neighborhood of Boston.
