65 years, after a brief illness, on February 7, 2012 with his family by his side. Cherished father of Cheryl Balint, Jodie & Gary Walker, Jenn & Dean Meloche and friend of Colleen, mother of Alexis and Caitlin Hand. Loved grandfather of Daniel, Abby and Liam. Dear brother of Patricia & Bob Smith and Ken & Micheline Hand. Sadly missed by many brothers & sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews as well as many other friends and family. Roger was "indispensable" after over 30 years of service with Versatile Machine & Tool – he was a jack of all trades and a master of many. If you so desire, donations to the Windsor & Essex County Cancer Centre Foundation or the Hospice of Windsor would be appreciated by the family. Cremation has taken place. Memorial visiting Friday 3-5 & 7 pm until the time of Memorial Service at 8 pm at Families First 3260 Dougall Ave. South Windsor, 519-969-5841.
