Roger Law Obituary
Born on 3rd July 1942, Roger grew up in New Eltham and spent his formative years at Pope Street Primary School, where he was head boy, then moved on to Alleyns in Dulwich, where he developed a strong foundation that would guide both his professional and personal life.
A dedicated quantity surveyor, Roger spent many years working with companies like McAlpines, contributing significantly to numerous building projects across the South East of England.
A man of diverse passions, Roger was an avid supporter of the arts, particularly opera, and sports, with a special love for cricket and rugby. Roger cherished the adventures he experienced with his beloved wife, Andrea. His love for travel was marked by numerous journeys on steam trains and exploring the scenic beauty of Italy. Some of their favourite journeys included travel on Concorde and the Orient Express, as well as time spent in Scotland, a place close to his heart due to family connections.
Roger's sociable nature shone through in his love for socialising with friends, especially in the local pubs of Chislehurst.
Roger leaves behind a loving family who will miss him dearly. He is survived by his wife, Andrea Law; sister, Gill Wood; children, Simon Law, Helen Mee, and Kate Thain; stepchildren, Juliette Teague, Matthew Lunn and Sarah Hazell; and grandchildren, Olivia Hazell, Eliza Law, Rebecca Law, Ashwin Lunn, Lucas Mee, Jake Mee, Isabella Thain, and Edward Thain. He was preceded in death by his son, Philip Law, and brother, Vernon Law.
Roger's life was a testament to his generous, organised, and life-loving nature, leaving a void in the hearts of those who knew him.

Fond memories of Roger from the 1970s when I worked behind the bar in the Bickley Arms and later when he and Pippa moved to Cromwell Avenue. My condolences to his loved ones including sister Jill. I´m so glad I a saw him again a few years back (yes in the BA) still the same happy Roger. Sorry to have missed his send off. Bless him.

Roger was a special chap. Although we had a professional relationship at the start, it wasn´t long before we became friends and I was always very fond of him. He´ll leave a big gap in people´s lives as is often that case with a `larger than life´ character like Roger. It was a pleasure knowing you, Roger. Marco. X

Our Dearest Roger, a long time friend going back nearly 50 years to the early days of The city golf club, and of course the very start of Romantiq2.
Roger was always there for us, not only helping us financially, but also with his property expertise and of course never forgetting his love of food and drink.
He supported us in our early days at Romantiq2 and was never missing with his work colleagues for their Christmas celebrations.
We will miss being with him in more recent times, especially with his beloved Andrea, enjoying precious moments in his favourite local eatery.
We will miss you Roger, your love, your kindness and support over the years.
Rest in peace.

Roger, my landlord and dear friend. Roger was more than just someone who provided me a home; he became an important figure in my life. His kindness, support, and wisdom touched everyone around him. I will always cherish the moments. He will be deeply missed, but his spirit will forever remain in my family's hearts.
