It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kenneth Roy Rogalski, age 81, at the Selkirk Regional Health Centre on November 22, 2024.
Ken will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 57 years, Gloria, son Darren and daughter Shannon, nephews, Matthew (Candace) and Andrew, along with a large extended family and many wonderful lifelong friends. He was predeceased by his father, Roy; mother, Adeline; and sister, Rosemary.
Ken was born in the North End of Winnipeg on July 10, 1943. Upon graduation from high school, he attended the University of Manitoba, attaining a Doctor of Dental Medicine. Ken went on to serve his patients with great care for over 30 years.
Ken’s happiest times were spent camping and fishing at Otter Falls, especially with dear friends from Virginia. One of his proudest achievements was his master angler pike. When not at the lake, Ken loved watching sports, especially his beloved Boston Red Sox, listening to some Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Buffett, reading, and puttering on the acreage in Cooks Creek.
A celebration of Ken’s life will take place in the spring. An announcement will follow with details closer to the date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ken’s memory to the Manitoba Dental Foundation, to help make a difference in the oral health of underserved communities in Manitoba.

Ken was my classmate through Dental School. We had a small class of about 25 upon graduation which helped make for close and enduring friendships. Sherry and I had the pleasure of visiting Ken and Gloria in their lovely home in Winnipeg several years ago, and we enjoyed several class reunions together over the years. Ken was always an active participant in our group, with an outgoing and wonderful personality. It is with great sadness that we send this message. Our hugs and love to Gloria and family.
