Len and I are so sorry to hear of Roger’s passing. We haven’t seen him for many years but have such fond memories of him, especially helping Wally and Roseanne out at Teen Time events and wagon train cops. He was a wealth of information and taught us lots about horses and driving a team with a wagon. I’m sure that Roger is spending time catching up with Wally in Heaven!
Jeanne Bourassa says

To Mary and all of Roger’s family,
Please accept our sincerest condolences on Roger’s passing. We met Roger and Dianne at the Therrien Family Reunions in years past. We always enjoyed speaking with Roger and hearing the many stories he had to tell of his earlier years on the farm and his camping adventures. He was always very supportive of the Therrien Association and for that, we are very appreciative. He was blessed with a long and very interesting life.
We will miss his presence but still remember him at future Therrien Reunions.
Sincerely, Michael DeConti

Fred Bell says
My sincere condolences to all the family. I too feel a great loss, as Roger and I were
friends in Edmonton in the early 1950s before he married your mother Pearl and I was
the best man.
Roger visited me at my home in Lillooet and I at his in Edmonton a number times.
We have kept in contact for all these years and I spoke to Roger on the phone recently.
Roger had a great zest for life and was a wonderful friend.
He will be greatly missed by everyone who had the good fortune to .have met him

Rest In Peace Roger, we’ll miss you. Gisele and Nick Lake Isle
