Roger Moreau

Roger Edgar Moreau

January 14, 1936 - September 24, 2020

Roger Edgar Moreau, age 84, passed away peacefully on September 24, 2020 in the caring hands of the staff at St. Vincent Hospital. He is survived by his wife Patricia Moreau (nee Larocque), his loving family, Matt and Alanna Moreau, Kathy Kavanagh (nee Moreau) and Michel Hell, Joseph and Michelle Moreau, Robert Moreau, Denis Moreau, Tom and Kristine Moreau, Kimberley (nee Moreau) and Geoff deLaunay. Roger is predeceased by his daughter Patty Cody (nee Moreau) and grandson Brandon Moreau. He was the loving grandfather to David, Emily, John, Grace, Kathleen, James, Michael, David, Cody, Kaylea, Danielle, Christopher, Jessica, Megan, Justin, Taryn, Brady, Kina, Melanie and Mathieu and his great-grandchildren and many loving nieces and nephews.

Roger brought happiness to thousands of children over the years as Santa Claus and filled their lives with lifelong memories. His lightening skating ability and sleight of hand scoring gave him the nickname “The Kid.” One of his most notable memories is playing hockey at the Ottawa Civic Center and tossing the puck to his Mother after scoring and watching how proud she was of him.

A ceremony will be held at Notre Dame Cemetery for immediate family (date to be confirmed) and a celebration of life and mass for Roger will be held when we can all come together safely.

Our family would like to thank Dr. Sanjay Acharya, Rochene Lawson and all the caring staff at St. Vincent Hospital for their care and compassion through this challenging time.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to The Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario would be appreciated.  Tributes, condolences and donations may be made at www.tubmanfuneralhomes.com.
