BERUBE, Roger
1949 – 2022
It is with a heavy heart that the family of the late Roger Berube, announces his passing on October 10, 2022 with his family at his side. Roger was born March 9, 1949 in Godalming Surrey England to the late Eugene and Margaret Berube (nee Hammond).
Also predeceasing him was his step-father Lucien Fiset, sister Georgette and sister Denise Montague.
Left to mourn him are his brothers and sisters Ann (late John Fillion), Shirley (Peter Webb), Henry, Marjelaine (Reg Seaton), Billy (Sharon), and brother-in-law Garry Montague.
Roger will also be greatly missed by his nephew Brent (Leanna) Seaton, nieces Tanya Seaton, Melanie Seaton-Rundle (Curtis), nephew and godson Ian Berube, his little buddies Livi and Matti, his longtime friend Terry Webber, as well as many other nieces and nephews.
Following graduation at KLCVI Roger worked at Kerr Addison mine in Virginiatown before embarking on a career with Imperial Oil in Sarnia and Edmonton.
Roger loved his cottage time at Crystal Lake where he spent many summers first with his life long friends Fern and Red Rivard and then with his brothers and sisters and their kids.
Always a northener at heart, when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease Roger moved back to Kirkland Lake to stay with his sister and brother-in-law Marjelaine and Reg Seaton, eventually moving into the South Centennial Manor. It didn’t take him long to endear himself to the staff and residents with his sense of humor and his little tricks.
His time at the manor was very special, he made many new friends and the staff went above and beyond in responding to Roger’s needs.
Roger left his mark on those who were wounded to have met him, always ready to share a laugh or lend a hand to those who needed help… he will be missed.
Respecting Roger’s wishes, there will be no visitation or service. There will be a private family internment at a later date.
In lieu of flowers donations to the South Centennial Manor Redevelopment Project would be greatly appreciated.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of BERUBE Roger 1949 2022..
