Roger passed peacefully in his 70th year after a long battle with lung cancer. He is predeceased by his daughter Carrie (1988), eldest brother Ronald II (2005), Dad Ronald I (2006) and Mother Edna (2008).
Roger is survived by his 2 sons Eric & Ryan (Jenna) who will deeply miss their Father, estranged daughter Amanda (Jason), and granddaughter Carrie who was the love of his life. He also leaves behind 2 brothers Donald (Megan) and John and will be fondly remembered and missed by his sister Lynne (Gerry), sister-in law Lorna, Aunt Pat (Frank) and many nieces and nephews whom he loved and was so proud of.
Roger did not want a Celebration of Life and has now been cremated. Interment will be at The Pine Hills Cemetary and Visitation Centre at a later date.
A special thanks to Dr. J Rothenstein & his team plus Dr. Medhat El-Mallah at Lakeridge Hospital, Oshawa and the staff at the Peter K. Kwok Hospice for their care and compassion in his final days.
