Coker, Roger Edward May 13, 1940 – August 1, 2022
It is with sadness that the family of Roger Coker (born in West Wickham, Kent UK) announces his passing on Monday, August 1 following a brief illness. He is survived by his wife Linda, daughter Helen (Jim), stepson Alisdair, grandson Willem, niece Catherine (Tom), and estranged son Paul. Roger is predeceased by his parents Josephine and Leslie and sister Christine (Sean). Roger, with his first wife Janet, immigrated to Canada in 1968, settling in London before moving to Thamesford in 1975. He made lifelong friends with fellow residents who had also moved into the “new subdivision”. Roger worked in the commercial insurance business, both in England and in Canada, retiring in 2005. He enjoyed bird watching, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
Visitation will take place at Brock and Visser Funeral Home, 177 Dundas Street Thamesford Ontario (519-285-2427) on Thursday, August 4 from 2:00 – 4:00 and from 6:00 – 8:00. A private funeral will follow.
