I am so saddened to hear of Roger's passing. I had the pleasure of getting to know Roger at 97 St pub years ago and then he became a trivia regular in our pub Mickie's. He will be missed dearly. Deepest condolences to the family from myself and all the staff at Mickie's Pub.

I am saddened to hear of the loss of Roger. I played a lot of golf with Roger in the three years I spent at Shannon Lake. I also served "Mr. Golf" the occasional pint at the course and later at 97st Pub. I have many fond memories Roger and I will miss him

I am so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. I worked for him at Shannon Lake as the superintendant from the time him and his dad[Bob], your grandfather bought in to it in the late 80's. I left there in 92, but Roger and I stayed friends. We had some great times together.My thoughts are with you and your family.
