1945 to 1947, until being transferred to British Intelligence.
After living in Egypt, Sweden, Hong Kong and Singapore, he moved
to Canada and joined the Canadian Army where he was stationed
at Camp Borden from 1954 to 1957, and was promoted Captain Staff
Quarter Master. In 1969, Roger became a professor of Photography
and later the Chair of Visual Arts at Sheridan College, Oakville,
until retiring in 1991. A proud and devoted father, brilliant
photographer, and wonderfully eccentric man. Roger was an avid
sailor and sportsman who was still winning on the tennis court
at the age of 73. He will be missed by many of his close Friends
and colleagues, and forever by his beloved children Nicola, Alexander
and Andrew and his sisters Diana and Cynthia. Roger was predeceased
by his brother Anthony. With the help of family and Friends he
was able to spend his last days at home in comfort. Nicola, Alexander
and Andrew would like to express sincere thanks to Dr. Karen
