It is with deepest sadness that Roger’s family announces his passing at home surrounded by his loved ones. Roger (beloved son of Edna and Milen) will be forever cherished by his wife of 59 years Colleen (nee Gallagher), son Paul (Debbie), daughters Linda (Mark) and Karen, and grandchildren Ryan (Sasa), David, Adrienne, and Zach. Roger completed his education in Kingston graduating from the Royal Military College in 1958 and Queen's University in 1959, obtaining a degree in Electrical Engineering. After their marriage, he and Colleen went to Halifax where Roger served in the Royal Canadian Navy. Upon returning to Toronto, Roger began a 30-year career with Ontario Hydro, retiring as the Director of Power System Operations Division in 1993.
