On March 25, 2026, at 12.55am, aged 80 years, our illustrious Roger passed peacefully in the presence of his darling wife Lana, and loving son Blair. He faced a long illness with courage and dignity. Sincere thanks are extended to the staff of Burlington Care Centre. An informal gathering to share stories of Rogerâs life will be held at Oaklands, corner of Halswell Junction and Wigram Roads, Halswell, on Wednesday, April 1, at 2.30pm, privately thereafter.

We were so sorry to hear the news, yesterday, that Uncle Roger had sadly passed away on 25/03/2026 and that we would not be able to pay our respects and share our memories of his wonderful life, at the informal gathering. We find some comfort in knowing that he is now reunited with his loving family and his devoted wife, Mary. He has left a huge legacy and his zest for life and adventure and his free -spirited nature has inspired, and will continue to inspire, those who have walked beside him in life and everyone who follows in his footsteps. Forever in our hearts. Simon, Louise, Phil and their families, dear friends and anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.Anonymous
