Roger Kennedy

Born in Glasgow on August 11, 1942, Roger, his wife, and son moved to North York in 1974.

He was a proud Scotsman and never forgot his roots. Roger was considered a man-of-the-people and spent most of his career successfully championing the rights of autoworkers in the CAW (Canadian Auto Workers) union. He loved UK football and was an active supporter of Manchester United.

Roger is survived by his wife Helen and his son Scott. He is also survived by his brothers Ian (and his wife Nancy) and Davy (and his partner Eileen), his niece Geraldine (and her partner Jerry), his nephews Stephen and David.

Roger will be remembered for his sense of humor and his dedication to family.
