ROGERS: Glenn Thomas, age 91, passed away on October 7th, 2022, at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. Glenn was born in Carberry, MB to Joseph and Nellie Rogers on July 5, 1931. He met the love of his life, Shirley Mae Burnett, when she was teaching school in Carberry and they married in October 1952. They built a house on his parents' farm and farmed full time until he developed allergies to cattle and grain dust. Glenn moved Shirley and their 3 children to Kamloops in 1966. Glenn's claim to fame in Kamloops was the establishment of Rogers Rent Shop, which later became Rogers Rental. He and Shirley worked together at the business and took pride in keeping their rental equipment in good condition. His name on the business still stands today. Glenn loved his family. His children have fond memories of family gatherings, camping trips and trips to visit friends and relatives, and Disneyland. Glenn also enjoyed photography, gardening, genealogy and woodworking. After retiring he became quite computer savvy, keeping in touch by Facetime and playing with photoshop. He loved his dogs; Toby, Nipper, Tiera and Kita. His genealogy took him on trips to Ireland, Scotland and eastern Canada. He was proud of his book on his genealogy research of the Rogers. Glenn is survived by his three children; Laurie Keehn (Ted), Jodene Gowans (Dale) and Wilfred Rogers (Frauke Meyer); his grandchildren Julie Walton (Cody); Danica Rogers, Evan Rogers and his great-grandchildren, Lucas and Nolan Walton.
