To Roger, Madeline, and the rest of the family, our deepest condolences at the loss of a wonderful person and former colleague. He will be remembered by many in Recreation and Leisure Studies at University of Waterloo, especially many of our retirees and myself. Sandy

So sorry for your loss, Madeline.
