Obituary for Roger Francis Heyrman
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our gentle and cherished husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and great-great grandfather. He was a gentle soul with a trademark smile, and a vital force in our family. Roger was the beloved husband of Delight for over 70 years, caring Dad to Linda Brackell-Bisson (Don), Brenda Barron (Roger), Gary Heyrman (Joanne), and Susan Nelson (Keith). He also adored, and was adored, by his 10 grandchildren and their spouses, as well as 14 great grandchildren, 1 great-great grandchild and another on the way. Roger was born in Belgium, and he was raised in the Es area by his loving parents, Louis and Marie Heyrman and his Uncle Joe, all of whom predeceased him. He is also predeceased by his sister, Lucy Vollans (Bob). Having farmed all of his life, he passed that legacy to his son and grandson. He enjoyed many winters spent in Florida’s warm climate. He will be sadly missed by all of us, including nieces and nephews, family in Belgium, and indeed, all who knew him…a gentle man with a smile that made everything better…our Ironman. We would like to extend our appreciation to the staff at Iler Lodge for their heartfelt care. A private family graveside service is planned. After restrictions are relaxed, there will be a celebration-of-life event. Donations may be made to Kidney Foundation. Kennedy Funeral Home Limited (519-776-7378) 128 Talbot St. North Es entrusted with the arrangements. Family and friends are invited to share memories online at www.kennedyfh.com
