Passed away suddenly on Saturday November 11, 2017 at the age of 62.
 
Survived by his loving partner Sherry Moriarity.

Roger is now reunited with his Mom Beverly and his Dads Raymond Nolan and Jerry Lucas and his previous wives; Victoria and Leslea.

Dearly missed by his loving Sons Jason (Megan) and Ryan (Mandy) and his loving Step-Daughters Crystal (Paulo) and Candace (Kenneth). Big Papa will be sadly missed by his Grandchildren; Emerson, Riley, Jaxson, Lily, Mason, Logan and Devon.

Beloved brother to Thomas (deceased Geri), Anne, Lawrence, Patricia (Paul), Billy (Heather), Catherine (Stewart) and Christopher (Cynthia).

Leaving behind many beloved nieces and nephews, loving friends, as well as all of his Pine Valley family.

Roger felt that the men and fathers his sons have grown into was one of his greatest accomplishments and he took great pride in both of his boys. He was a proud Irish Man, who was a huge Toronto Maple Leafs fan and was affectionately known as Big Rog.

Most of all he loved being with his family and friends and people in general and he adored and doted on all of his grandchildren.    

At Roger’s request, cremation has taken place. There will be a celebration of life from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday, November 17, 2017 at the Preston Legion. 334 Westminster Drive North, Cambridge. The celebration will continue at Pops in Ruby's Tap and Grill at 200 Preston Parkway, Cambridge.

In lieu of flowers please make a donation in Roger's memory to The Legion of your choice.

Roger, you were a huge part of myself and Scott's life. We are left with so many fun and happy memories. We will truly miss our winter Saturday afternoons for the meat draws at the legion, our Evening of drinks and board games. I will miss cooking dinner for you as you appreciated it so much. My children who you adored and always praised, will miss you. Scott will miss his bingo partner and having a few beers together. Most if all Roger I will miss your big old bear hug and hearing you saying , you love me. Blowing a kiss back to you bud and know how much I love you and life will never be the same without you in it. PS I will take care of Miss Sherry for you.
