KIRBY, H. ROGER 1937 - 2008 Roger passed away suddenly, but peacefully at his home in Mississauga on February 2, 2008, in his 71st year.

In keeping with his wishes (and who he was), instead of the usual visitation and/or funeral service, family and friends will gather on Sunday April 6th for a `good old fashioned Irish wake' to remember Roger, to share all their stories and their love, to laugh, and to raise a pint in celebration of Roger's life, his inimitable personality and his indomitable spirit. Condolences to the family can be shared through to his daughter at lnewton@mcmaster.ca. Remembrances may be made in Roger's name to the Ontario Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) or the Canadian Cancer Society.
