Passed away on Monday, June 14, 2021 at the age of 70. Predeceased by his loving wife, Cathy Gilmore (nee Hutchinson). Father of Roger Gilmore Jr. (Kim Halerwich-Clark) of Corunna and Corinna Kroesbergen (Kevin) of Sarnia. Proud grandfather of Paige, Lexi, Logan, Cadance, Justin, Conner and great grandfather of Knox and Finnegan.

Roger was a motorcycle enthusiast who enjoyed riding his Harley with his best buddy and son, Rod. He spent many years driving truck for Marcotte Disposal and he loved his dog, Buddy who became his companion. Roger has been reunited with his soulmate, Cathy and their love will continue into eternity as he missed her terribly when she passed in 2015. He had a love of motorcycles, vintage vehicles, and a good old Clint movie. He loved his visits to Dominican Republic, Mexico, the many trips to Niagara Falls and the cottage adventures while always enjoying a cold beer and cigarette. His easy-going and fun personality brought about many smiles and laughter and his courteous and polite manner were traits he showed to anyone he encountered.
