Roger was a very down to earth hard working family our condolences to the family he will be missed

Where to start?

There are so many amazing memorable moments with Rodgie.

I'm pretty sure we could write a book.

I think it would be a best selling comedy.

Some parts for sure would have to be censored.(lol)

Rodgie was a force to be reckoned with!

He did everything at  1 speed "get r done"

He lived hard.

Worked hard

Played hard

and loved hard.

He was an amazing friend (family)

It was a priveledge to have known and loved him.

He will leave a big gap in our life but the comforting part is he is back with his "Sweet Annie"

You kids are amazing!

I know you will get through this.

Lean on each other and everyone who offers.

We offer because we love you.

Be strong.

Love you more

We are so sad to begin saying good-bye once again too soon to a special family member! Rodger can only be described as one of a kind! To some he may have come across gruff but inside was the kindest, generous loving man that lived for his wife Ann and his family ! Our family will forever cherish all the special times we shared over the years ! We loved the visits out West that Rodger and Ann took, summer vacations at Point Clarke, family celebrations when another niece or nephew arrived and then the grandchildren started arriving ! Sending you all the hugs you need and a few more ! We are taking comfort in the belief that Rodger is now reunited with his partner for life Ann. We will always remember how Rodger enjoyed to share some cheer with family and friends but be the first one to jump up when help was needed! Love ❤️ you our friend ! Thank you for being part of our journey.

Our deepest condolences to all of Rodgers family. We worked with him for many years. Drank a few beers at the Knights in the old days.😊  Rodg was a good man with a big heart, and loved his family. He and I spent some serious time chatting about Anne's illness..always with the hope that she would be ok. He was heartbroken and now they are together ..much too early. May wonderful memories bring you all some closure. 🥰

Cayley, Courtenay and family.  We were very saddened to learn of your father's sudden passing.  We hope you can treasure and share the happy memories made with your parents, both now and and for years to come.  You have lost them both much too soon, and our thoughts, hearts and prayers go out to all of you.

I remember many good years coaching ball with Roger and camping at ball tournaments. 

I am deeply saddened by the loss that you and your family have encountered. My condolences.

Sorry to hear that Rodger has passed away. Your family has lost too many people before their senior years. We hope your good memories will help you at this time as you share happier times you had as a family. With sympathy from Bob and Shirley

I am so sorry to hear of Rodgers passing.  I read many of the other condolences from his co-workers and a mayor at the city and am not surprised by how well liked Rodger was.  I too am a past co-worker.  When I think of Rodger, I think of many things... passion, committment, hard working... but most importantly, that smile!  I will miss him.  My prayers are with you.

Rodger worked hard and was a real asset to the city . He will be missed by family, friends and co workers.

Special thoughts and prayers going to his family and close ones.

Dear Ryan & family, we were very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing    He was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed    

With deepest sympathy,

Bob & Glenna Henderson 

It was a pleasure working with Roger and he will be missed.

Sincerely,

JP

  It's hard for me to believe Rodger is gone, I worked most of my time at the city with Rodger, where we became close friends. We told stories of our family's,and would talk sports every day. No one worked harder, or enjoyed a good joke better then him. His family always came first, and he would lend a hand to anyone who asked for help. Rodger attacked work head on and never quit or gave up, on any tough jobs. His knowledge and skill for repairing underground infrastructure was incredible. I will deeply miss the one of kind guy, who gave me great memories of work and play. My sincere condolences to the family.

Its been a few days and it is still sinking in the fact the Rodger is gone. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Ludwig family.  We as friends share your pain at the loss of a great friend. I hope that in the near furture we can get together and share some stories of him. Rodger was many things to all of us, but nothing short of colourful. He touched all our lives in a memorable way. Cheers to you Rodger.

Courtney, Cayley, Lori and Ryan

Rodger was a good friend for many years and I am deeply saddened that he is gone.  I admired so many things about your dad.  He was one of a kind and I was proud to know him.  The stories of his life are endless and, in many cases, unbelievable!  There is a best selling book just waiting to be written.  Together with your mother, they were a team to be reckoned with and I miss them both.  He couldn’t wait to be with your mom again and I know that he has now found her and the peace that comes with that.  Thinking of you all and sending our love.

Courtney,  Cayley,  Lori and Ryan. Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Rodger. He was a good man, always willing to help others. My fond memories of him will always be with me. He is now reunited with your mom who I know he missed dearly.

Greetings Cayley, Courtney, Lori and Ryan.   Our family is very sorry to hear of the passing of your father.    Roger was a good man and was always a great neighbour when we lived on Morningdale across the street from your family.    I remember many times seeing him out working to late hours in the garage and it seemed he never rested.    I remember him playing hockey with us on The City of Waterloo, Thursday Hockey and he was full of energy from start to finish, even crashing the net if that is what gave him a chance of scoring a goal.   He loved his job at the City and was a hard working, dedicated, old school employee whom could always be counted on to work long and hard and get the job done.   Sadly, they don't make them like that nay more.    I remember him scaring the crap out of Norma and Hillary on Halloween one time when he sat motionless in the chair on your darkened porch.    He was always looking to laugh.    I remember when I was walking up the street with Barkley one time and Roger came out of the driveway and started yelling to me that the house beside Rosa's was having a chimney fire.    I put Barkley away and joined him down the street, where he began beating on the door of the house and yelling to see if anyone was home.   He started hollering to me about the dumb kids inside that were probably in there but too stoned to answer the door.   Their dog was barking and no one was still coming so Roger said, ' I'm going in'    I said no way that I'm staying outside.    He burst through the door and somewhere between busting into the house and getting down to the basement, got bit by the dog.   After a while he came out cussing about those dumb kids were indeed downstairs and had no clue that the chimney was about to catch fire.   He ripped a piece off them and probably sent the dog flying and then came out to give me the whole story.   I knew that Roger would jump in to help anybody and he certainly did that day.    I know things are going to be difficult but I also know that the strength you always showed was fosterd by your Mom and Dad, and that strength will carry on to give you courage and a special warmth in the knowledge of what your Dad meant to you.   Our deepest sympathies.  

Bryce, Norma, Hillary and Hayden Crouse

I hope you find comfort among family, friends and all the memories of family times together.

Love,

Kim, Rich and family

So sorry for your loss. Lots of great memories at the rink and baseball diamond and from your stories! Thinking of you all. Lots of love always.

I am so very sad to hear of the passing of Rodger. I have so many wonderful memories of him and Ann and all of our Point Clark friends playing Atari (I think bowling and baseball were Rodger's favourites), snowmobiling, and just sitting around enjoying a few beverages just to name a few.  I remember when I first met Rodger who lived across from my parents' cottage, he had a few horses in his backyard.  I loved horses so I had to go over and meet them.  It's hard to believe that was so many years ago.  I know how much he missed Ann and so I'm taking comfort in believing that he is with her now.  My deepest condolences to his whole family, I hope your memories will help you through this difficult time.

Thoughts and Prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. Your Dad was a special guy. May he rest in peace with you mom

Xoxo
