Passed away peacefully at Wangaratta Hospital on Tuesday 29th September with his three girls beside him.

Dearly loved and loving husband of Jo for 62 years. Devoted father and father in law of Julie and Peter, Sara and Stanko. Adored grandfather of Nikolas, Ashley, Molly and Natasha. Proud great grandfather to Hugh.

We are all so lucky to have had this amazing man in our lives.

When I am sad and lonely

And everything goes wrong

I know I’ll hear your whisper

‘Cheer up, and carry on.’

Each time I see your photo,

You’ll smile at me and say,

‘Don’t cry, I’m only sleeping,

We’ll meet again some day.’

Jennifer Cahill shared

Dear Roger,

He was such a lovely man, always humorous and smiling and not in the least boastful of all the many things that he and Jo accomplished.

He was an amazing pilot and managed to carve out with Jo, a whole new life for himself and his family.

I feel privileged to have known him and my heart goes out to Jo and all of his family who loved him so dearly.

All of my love,

Jenny x
