1939 ~ 2021
Passed away peacefully at King Nursing Home, Bolton on May 3, 2021. He is survived by his wife Sue, 2 daughters, 3 grandchildren, 3 sisters and 3 brothers plus several nieces and nephews.
Born in Huntingdon, Quebec, Roger moved to the Toronto area at an early age where he commenced his career in the automotive recycling industry. His avid interest in this area also extended to the 50’s era of cars where he completed the restoration of his dream and prize possession, the 1956 Ford Glass Top. Other interests included competition skeet and trap shooting, hunting and fishing.
A special ‘Thank you’ goes to so many who supported us through this long journey.
Cremation will be followed by a private service at a later date.
Memorial donations may be made to King Nursing Home, 49 Sterne Street, Bolton L7E 1B9 or charity of your choice.

I wanted to send my condolences to Sue and family! I have such fond memories of Roger. Growing up I remember him at our house in Caledon, hunting with my dad and the rest of the boys. We would also often go to their place, watch a movie on their big screen TV and eat his black jelly beans. Something I still love to this day thanks to him. I even bought my first car from him at Number 9 Auto. He always treated us as if we were family and I will forever cherish all my time we spent together. RIP Sweet Roger! Give my mom a hug for me.

Roger was truly a one of a kind. I learned so much working with him at the wrecking yard, about business and about life in general. He could balance the serious business side and the fun all in one fell swoop. Never a dull moment. Good memories that I will hold dear forever. RIP Roger Dodger…. jusqu’à ce que nous nous rencontrions à nouveau xoxo

I was able to chat with Roger quite a few times while volunteering at King.
He loved my stories about my father and East Coast Hunting! He was a very sweet man and I am very sorry that you have lost him ❤️

Sue. We had many good times at Colpoy’s Bay. Roger was a good man. He never hesitated in offering a helping hand. I remember he came over and and changed a wheel bearing. When I got my new boat he said, “Nice boat but a lousy fishing net. He then deposited a big fishing net in the back of my boat. I could go on. Maybe one day we will be able to connect and toast Roger with Tom & Sandy. Best wishes Sue.
