CLARENCE ROHATENSKY

CLARENCE MERVIN ROHATENSKY March 14, 1941 - July 28, 2012 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, brother, uncle and friend. Clarence passed away at Surrey Memorial Hospital following a lengthy illness. This exceptional Man was born in Yorkton, SK and was educated in Winnipeg, MB. He spent many years in the trucking industry. In 1971, we moved to British Columbia and he was a transportation consultant until retiring in 2006.

He was predeceased by his mother Lena, father Mike and sister Rita. His family wishes to thank the staff in ICU and N41 at the Surrey Memorial Hospital. Donations, if desired, to be made at charity of your choice. Cremation has taken place. As per Clarence's request, there will be no service.

  • Deepest sympathy Sandra and family, we lost a great man with Clarence's passing. I had the pleasure to work with Clarence for many years and always looked forward to seeing him. Great smile, always funny, and deeply concerned about doing the right thing for our customers and the companies he worked for. A total gentleman who loved life and lived it fully. Airplanes were a passion he loved to share. Clarence always stayed close to the Auburn, WA air field regardless if he flew in or drove. Miss him, glad I was able call Clarence my friend.
