ROGER C. LEONARD March 13, 1939 - April 20, 2010 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of beloved husband, son, father, brother and grandpa on Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Roger is survived by his loving wife of 46 years Mona, mother Mary, brother Dennis, children Darren (Chantale) and Tina (Jim) Huta and grandchildren Austin and Tia Leonard. He was predeceased by his father Roger T. Leonard. Roger was born in Winnipeg and as a child moved around Saskatchewan with his family. He returned to Winnipeg to work at the T. Eaton Company which took him to Ontario with his own family. He later returned to Winnipeg to take care of his mother. Dad was a loyal member of the Knights of Columbus. He spent many a summer at the family cottage at Twin Beaches. Dad loved doing anything outdoors: hunting, fishing, camping, gardening, boating, family BBQs. Cremation has already taken place. At his request no service will be held. Interment will take place at a later date. The family would like to thank the staff at Portage District General Hospital, especially Dr. Finney.
