John William Rogerson

John William Rogerson passed away peacefully on June 7, 2016 at Cambridge Memorial Hospital. The world has lost a truly amazing man. John loved to spend time with his family, often teasing them in good humour, or telling them captivating stories. He enjoyed watching television, especially CNN and the Weather Channel. He always knew what the weather was going to be. John won his battle against cancer not once, but twice in his life. He exhibited great strength and bravery during those times. John was a long-time employee of General Motors. He was everything to everyone, and he will be dearly missed. John is survived by his beloved wife Beverley Rogerson. They were in their 60th year of marriage. He is also lovingly remembered by his children Mark Rogerson, Linda Bell (Craig), Michelle Rogerson, extended family Bill McCreadie (Joyce), Mary Pollard (David), Pat Sherman, and Ilonka Fabry, sisters Lois Kane and Betty Fallis, brother-in-law Murray Smith (Karen), and numerous grandchildren, great and great-great nieces and nephews, cousins, extended family, and friends. John was predeceased by his parents Ethel and Willard, brother Willy, brother-in-law Raymond Kane, and his long-time friends Joe Sherman and John Clephan. The Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at Trillium United Church (450 King St. E Cambridge, ON 519-653-6601) at 2:00 p.m. with a visitation one hour prior. A reception will follow. As expressions of sympathy, donations may be made to The Cambridge Humane Society in honour of John’s love for animals.
