I am so very sorry to hear of Roger’s passing. He was a great guy who was willing to help out at the Legion any time. He will be missed
Roger was also a member of the courtright friendship club for many years. He would always come in, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the day playing euchre with his friends.
Uncle Roger was always a funny guy…. usually quiet spoken whenever I saw him. Looooved to punch in the arm to get your attention lol

Our condolences to the Newby Family. Roger was a great guy and he will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him. Rest in peace Roger.
Our sincere Condolences to each of you. I remember the laughter from an amazing night of euchre with Roger and Gord. With a small Ouchie moment that evening, while looking for firewood, Roger made laughing a sport that night. He will be sadly missed. Rest in peace, Roger.
