Sending condolences from our family, Marc, Micheline, Gilles, Liliane and Nicole. Roger was a close neighbor or ours when we lived in St. Boniface. Our parents Rene and Eugénie enjoyed visits from Roger regularly. He was only 10 years younger than dad. I remember them laughing so much! Nicole and I had a great conversation with him at our Uncle Ovides funeral last year ...so happy to see him! May he Rest In Peace. - Posted by: Micheline Watson (née Lambert) (Cousin) on: Jun 13, 2019
