It is with great sadness the Rogerson family announce that Robert (Bobby) surrounded by his loving family, passed away peacefully at the Wellington Terrace on Thursday, November 22, 2018 at the age of 87. Robert was raised on a farm just north of Fergus, moving to a farm in the Alma area with his beloved wife Jean to raise their family, later retiring to Elora. As his health declined, Robert move to the Highland Manor, Fergus then to the Wellington Terrace where the extraordinary care given to him is so appreciated. Robert was a Fergus boy that loved his family, farm and community. He was incredibly kind to his family and those in need and leaves his family with wonderful memories that make us smile through our tears.
