WEST, Roger Douglas….
Passed away suddenly at home on Thursday, January 18, 2018 in his 82nd year. Predeceased by his beloved wife, Helen West, parents Harry and Marjorie (Ashton) and brother Eric. Survived by Michael and Donna Fleury (Kamloops), Paul and Susan Fleury (London), a number of very cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren and many supportive relatives. A graduate of Ryerson (broadcasting) and Western University (Law), Roger enjoyed a number of years on Radio and Television at CKNX in Wingham. He was also a popular radio program host on CFPL in London. Roger was also a candidate for the Ontario Legislature in 1968 and continued to be actively involved in politics throughout his life. Upon passing the bar, Roger set up his own law office before becoming the Executive Director of the Medical Laboratories Association of Ontario. Roger also worked as a lawyer for Immigration Canada. In later years and as a very accomplished pianist, Roger often enjoyed playing the piano for residents of several nursing homes in London. Roger was loved and supported by his very devoted wife, Helen. Their travels together took them to several destinations around the world. Both were also active in community development activities – particularly minor hockey. All in all, his was a life well lived.
