Robert “Bob” Roy, founder of furniture importer Jofran, passed away Jan. 29. He was 79.
Roy founded Jofran in 1975, when importing furniture from Asia was a rarity. But the company grew rapidly and became a major resource for bedroom, dining room, occasional, home office and home entertainment furniture.
Survivors include his son, Joffrey Roy, who is president of Jofran, and a daughter, Randi Roy.
A memorial service is planned for today at Stanetsky Memorial Chapel in Brookline, Mass. Memorial contributions may be made to the Rhode Island Interfaith Coalition to Reduce Poverty, c/o Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island, 401 Elmgrove Avenue, Providence, R.I., 02906.
