  • I first met Roger and his family almost 35 years ago, shortly before I became part of the extended family. Always a gentleman, Roger was a giving and caring man and he endeared himself to all. There was the ever present smile and good sense of humour - it was always a joy to visit with him. Being in Australia means we did not see him often enough but we are thankful we were there in Winnipeg just a few months ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with Margaret and the family. Bruce, Roberta, Nick and Holly. - Posted by: Bruce Elsholz (Husband of Roger's niece Roberta) on: Jan 22, 2013

He is one 'salt of the earth' gentleman, a rare mix of class, sincerity, humor and grace. His family was his world and will remain his legacy... My thoughts and prayers are with you Margaret, Joanne, Linda, George, Marilyn and Theresa and your families. I will cherish the many happy moments of those wonderful years gone by when I awoke to the sound of rambunctious laughter next door it put an immediate sunny start to our day ! You are in our hearts always...Ingrid, Andrea and Karina Scham - Posted by: Ingrid Scham (friend) on: Jan 22, 2013
