Roger was born December 9, 1950 in Kerrobert, Saskatchewan and passed away January 22, 2022 in Invermere, BC after a short illness. He is survived by his brother Joe and his family, his three sons; Scott, Kirk and Wade, and their families; his wife Phyllis, sister in law Barb and cousins Lanny, Ken, Perry, Mark and Natisha. He was very much a community minded person. Volunteering at the Rockies games and lending a hand with the recycling for the Thrift Store were routines you could set your clock by. He treasured the friendships he made by his service work. He worked all over BC and Alberta in his 45+ years with CPR. He did whatever he could to look after his employees and kept in touch with his railroad buddies. He was, “A Railroader to the Core.” He was very grateful for the excellent care he received from the nurses, doctors and staff and thought we had a great facility. He especially looked forward to the meals! He cared deeply about people, always saw the best in others and would help those in difficult circumstances. He exemplified true kindness and in his humble nature, he expected nothing in return. The family would like to thank: all those who visited him in the hospital, sent flowers, cards and food, phoned and sent electronic messages with their condolences.
