• Your voice is becoming a distant memory. I miss you ever so dearly. I wish you were here, lots of love, - Posted by: Mac (friend) on: Nov 22, 2023

• It still doesn’t feel real that you’re gone and now it’s been two years.. I always feel like one day my phone is going to ring and it’s going to be you telling me that you’re back! Man I miss you so much my twin. Most days I just feel numb because I don’t understand how you were taken from me so soon.. you were only 60 years old! I’m sorry it took me so long to be the daughter you’ve always wanted me to be, but I did it all for you.. graduating 2 years of school with honours, working non stop, finally getting my life together! This shit still doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t even want to celebrate my birthday this year because it’s on Father’s Day, I always remember every year that it fell on Father’s Day you always let me have the shine and took the back seat. Your whole world was about me and my happiness, as long as I was good that’s all that mattered to you. I’ll never forget that phone call and how my whole world ended in seconds, fighting with the hospital to let me come see you, walking into that room seeing you laying there with tubes still down your throat, mom telling me I don’t have to do this.. I remember sitting in that chair crying my eyes out because you had stubble on your face and I knew how much you would of hated that.. a couple days prior you almost had a heart attack just from trying to shave.. I sat in that room crying my eyes out because no one else wanted to come with me but mom came to support me. I had to be there, I had to see you in hopes that it would make me understand this really happened, but it still doesn’t make sense to me. Now you sit on my dresser and everyday I still can’t bring myself to spread your ashes because I feel like I’ll lose you completely. Daddy, you are my best friend in the whole entire world! You’ve always been the best dad any little girl can dream of! Kingston and Rowyn are so lucky that they got to have you as your papa and I know you would of loved Averi just the same! You were always the proudest papa, I always thought you were put in this world to be a dad, but truth is you were put here to be a papa! I miss you so much my best friend!

• Roger will be missed and never forgotten in my heart. I have been friends and have worked with Roger for 30 plus years he always went above and beyond for everyone he was in contact with in a positive and sincere way. The sudden passing of Roger has left huge void in everyone's life he was always positive and up beat. It was hard for me to accept his passing condolences to all of his family.

• I never had the pleasure of meeting you face to face, however, I spoke to you daily (sometimes multiple times a day) while you were doing what you do best - getting your crews and machines in and out of different places throughout the province and beyond. Regardless of the request, you always had a "smile" in the tone of your voice and more often than not, our calls ended with one or both of us laughing about something. I looked forward to your calls and even though I would joke you were only one of two people that had my direct line it was the truth - my phone has been sadly silent now and I wish we had longer to chat during our last phone call but business pulled us both back to our tasks at hand.... One of the last conversations I had with you was of a weekend visit with your grandchildren and how much you were looking forward to that - I hope that your family is able to read this and know how fondly you spoke of them and looked forward to spending time with them. I cannot find the words to properly express my sincerest condolences to your family, your friends and your co-workers. The world truly lost a wonderful person. Roger, you will be missed deeply by many. - Posted by: Val (Colleague via the Permit Office) on: Jun 02, 2021

• We were shocked to find out of the passing of our good friend. He will truly be missed. We were lucky to have Roger in our lives over the years. We looked forward to seeing him every week; his positivity about everything life had to offer always put a smile on our faces. Nothing was that bad when Roger was around. Nothing. Our hearts go out to his family. He was very special to us and can only imagine what you must be going through. We will never forget him. - Posted by: KildonanDryCleaners (Friend) on: Jun 01, 2021

• My dad was truly the gentlest soul this world had to offer. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone. My dad taught me everything I know today, he taught me how to be strong, to love fearless & be caring towards others. He was not only my dad but he was my best friend in the whole world. I will never forget the memories we have. My heart is so broken & I’m still trying to figure out how to go on without him. Kingston & I love you daddy, you will forever be our best friend! - Posted by: Lanna (Daughter) on: May 30, 2021

• My heart is broken. I’m truly having a hard time accepting the fact you're now resting in heaven. Ever since I met you Roger, you only offered kindness, sympathy, and many other good qualities of a friend. You were never rude or unkind towards me. You were the first and last person who I would see five times a week. You were my first good morning and my last goodbye. I constantly breaking down cause something reminds me of you or a conversation we had. I miss calling you constantly throughout the day and you saying “oh I have a question” cause I would always say that to you & just calling to say hello to be annoying to you. I miss sending you funny “gifs”. I miss hearing how your weekend went, and if you got to see your children/grandchildren. I miss rummaging through your fridge. I miss cooking for you and bringing you little treats. I miss our inside jokes. I miss being able to make you laugh by something I said or did. I miss you suggesting for us to get slurpees (hahah, inside joke). There are numerous things that I miss bout you. I could honestly write a novel. I started my garden a while ago, I made sure I would grow enough to share with you. Everyday when I water it, I think of you. I bought a plant and named it after you. It’s a succulent, the sign said “sempervivum literally means live forever. These amazing succulents will live forever in soil and under conditions most perennials would wither, delighting you for years with their varied colours, shapes, textures and sizes”. You taught me and always told me to cherish moments and memories with family and people you love because one day they’ll be gone and you can always hold on to those. Whenever I felt alone, I knew I could always talk to you no matter what it was. You never had judgement. You would try your best to understand how I was feeling and would tell me the positives and compliment how you know I’m trying my best and I’m doing a great job. I’m really happy you came into my life these past couple of years. I got to know you, and learn your routine. Thank you for making sure I smiled and laughed everyday. You were and will always be considered family. I’m not sure, how to go day to day life without you around. I miss you so much. No matter how much we talked bout death I wasn’t ready to lose you. I will be waiting till we can meet again, and I can meet mom. <3 Much love, Macaroni - Posted by: Macs (Friend ) on: May 29, 2021

• I would like to express my gratitude to Roger for blessing me with such a kind and beautiful son, sadly though you won't be here to meet our 1st grandchild. May you be blessed on your journey home. - Posted by: Michele Guillemette (Mother of 1st born son) on: May 29, 2021

• Roger had the best smile and spirit. His door was always open and made the best nacho platters anywhere. The kids would always be welcomed for for breakfast when the smell of bacon wafted over our fence! I will always remember Roger singing and smiling! There’s wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for you. We loved him and will cherish our memories. Our most sincere condolences to His entire family. - Posted by: Michelle Procter (Longtime neighbor and friend) on: May 29, 2021
