Alan Francis Rogers passed away on November 7, 2024, at the age of 91. While we are mourning the loss of this wonderful man, we are filled with gratitude for a long life well-lived. Alan was an engineer by trade, but he was also an athlete, a carpenter, and a master gardener.
Alan was born in England to Cecil and Millicent Rogers. He and his brothers, John (Daphne) and Peter (Brenda), attended Reeds School and maintained a lifelong connection to it.
Alan emigrated to Canada in 1955 where he met the love of his life, Kathryn Anne (nee Newman). He and Kathryn had three children, Sally McCord (Simon), Susan Gowland (Jeffrey), and Tim Rogers (Kathy), and grandchildren, Chad McCord, Blake McCord, Charlotte Petri (nee McCord), Stacey Robinson, Austin Gowland, James Gowland (dec), Kiernan Rogers, Erika Rogers and a great-grandchild, Vali Petri.
Alan and Kathryn lived in Mississauga for many years, moving to Dundas in 1989 where they quickly became active members of the community, enjoying long hikes through the escarpment and up to Dundas Peak.
They lived in the Villages of Glancaster in Mount Hope for 10 years, and spent the last year at Seasons Retirement Home in Cambridge.
Alan spent the last years of his career at Rice Tool and Die and, upon retiring, poured his energy into his many passions; golfing with his family and friends, tending his incredible garden, and building beautiful heirloom furniture for his family. His woodworking skills are on display at Dundas Baptist Church where he designed and built many pieces, including the sound booth and the trellis in the garden.
Cremation has already taken place. Celebration of Life to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, November 28, 2024, at Dundas Baptist Church, 201 Governors Rd, Dundas ON L9H 3J7
