It is with great sadness that the Wellington Family, Christine, Bill, Roger, Brittany, Gemma and Dempsey announce the passing of their father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Roger Edward Bergeron on September 5, 2020. Roger was born in 1927 in Ottawa Ontario. He is predeceased by his wife Pamela (Kreis) in 2009, parents Benjamin and Albertine of Ottawa and also his four siblings, Paul Bergeron, Ernie Bergeron, Fernand Bergeron and Florence Girioux. He is survived by his daughters, Christine Wellington (Bill) of Windsor, Stephanie Bergeron of Elliot Lake, Mary Bodolay (Stephen) of Cambridge and Linda Bergeron of Kitchener. His grandchildren Jennifer (Justin), Jordan (Kristy), Roger (Brittany), Pamela (Vinh), Julie (Igino) and Luc (Karissa). He is also survived by his great-grandchildren, Gemma, Dempsey, Dominic, Gianna, Damiano and Braydn is on the way.

Roger was a long-time employee of Labatt’s Canada where he became one of its foremost brew masters until he retired from the company in 1986 as the Operations Manager for all of Ontario. He was highly instrumental in successfully setting up the brewing of the Budweiser brand when it was brought to Canada by Labatt Breweries under licence in 1980.

The family would like to give a special thanks to the caring and compassionate staff of the memory care unit at Season’s Retirement Community in Amherstburg and Erie Shores Hospice in Leamington for the tender loving care that Roger received. We would also like to thank Families First for their attentive and highly professional assistance with Roger’s funeral services.

In lieu of flowers as expressions of sympathy, donations to Erie Shores Hospice (Leamington) would be appreciated.
