As a child Roger spent a great deal of time in Elie and especially enjoyed helping with harvest. He had many interests; his involvement in both his sons' hockey teams, visits to Royal Lake and Kenora and regularly attended auctions at Mordyck's where he always came home with treasures to add to his collection. Early in his career Roger worked for St. Boniface Messenger. This developed into Roger's Transfer where he contracted to Gordon Hotels, Dearborn Chemical and Shaw Cable. Through his career and social life Roger made many lifelong friends. He was quick with a smile and always had time to talk. Dad will be missed but never forgotten.

I knew Roger from Gordon Hotels. I worked in head office, and he was always there with a smile and a twinkle in his eye. I also remember him leading the way home in his van, helping us get home safely to Wpg. from a snowed in Fargo. My son Chris is a firefighter with your son, and probably didn't realize until Roger passed that he and Carey were together in Fargo. It brings many memories back of Roger and the fun we had with him at Gordon Hotels. He will be sorely missed. - Posted by: Patricia Gould (Hauser) (Co-Worker) on: Feb 15, 2011

I will always remember how good Roger was to me when I lived in Fort Garry and helped me with my house. He loved a get together, always room for another burger on the barbeque. Once a friend a friend forever. His smile and that wee glimmer in his eye will be in my heart forever. Beth I will always be here for you Love Debbie xox - Posted by: Debbie Armstrong (Friend) on: Feb 12, 2011
