Born in Alsask, Saskatchewan August 5, 1919 and died peacefully in the early afternoon on March 19th at the Royal Jubilee Hospital, Victoria. Predeceased by his wife Anne and brother Robert Bruce, both in 1994, Roger is survived by his sisters Margaret (Cunningham) and Doris; children Robert, Margaret, Tom, and Douglas; grandchildren Tom and Emily; and many nieces and nephews. Roger was dearly loved and will be missed by his family and friends. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Dr. Neil Crofton for looking after Dad so thoughtfully and so well for over 20 years, and to the doctors, nurses and caregivers of VIHA and the RJH for their exemplary professionalism and kindness during his final illnesses. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Canadian Red Cross, 3400 Lake City Way, Burnaby BC V5A 4Y2. No service by request. Condolences may be offered at www.mccallbros.com.

We wish to convey our deepest sympathy in the passing of Roger Holliston.
Our mother was Dorothy Smale, nee Dorothy Holliston. Although we didn’t know Roger, we did know uncle Rob & aunt Myrtle.
We know what it is like to lose a loved one and want you to know we are thinking of you at this time.

Gordon & Barbara Bruce Dear Tom and family,
So sorry to hear about your dad. I will always remember him as being a straight-shooter with me (as your mom was too). He could always see right through you… but in a kind way. We’ll keep them both now together in our prayers.
All the best,
Gord Bruce
