It is with a heavy heart that we announce the sudden, but peaceful passing of Roger Angus Janes at the family home in Grand Falls-Windsor, at the age of 91 years.
Roger is predeceased by his loving wife, Betty, his parents William and Edith Janes, his brothers, Clifford (Casey), Wallace (Bucky) and Gordon, and sisters Stella Boone and Vera Judge.
Roger lived a long and healthy life surrounded by his family here in Grand falls-Windsor. He was retired from a lengthy career with Newfoundland Power and enjoyed hunting, fishing, vegetable gardening (especially growing beautiful tomatoes), going for nightly drives with his wife Betty, playing cards and checkers, cooking Sunday dinners and making daily trips to the grocery stores. He especially loved helping his children – whether it was snow clearing, putting in gardens or lawns, doing renovations or moving, or just checking in at the end of the day. He was a doting grandfather and great grandfather and loved when family came to visit. Roger spent the last four years confined to his bed, after breaking his back in a fall, but remained alert, positive, and with a sense of humour to the end.
Roger leaves to mourn his sons, Roger Jr (Colleen), Robert (Karen), and Christopher; daughters Judy and Lori Ann (Dwayne); grandchildren, Nicholas, Kaylee, Mark, Matt, Robyn, Wyatt, and Sarah; great grandchildren, Heidi and Avery.
The family would like to offer a special word of thanks to daughter Judy who was Roger’s family caregiver and son Christopher who lived with Mom and Dad and took over a lot of the household and garden management when Dad no longer could.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Memorial United Church.

Jack was predeceased by his loving wife of 66 years Doreen, parents Stephen and Frances Sharron; sisters Audrey Manuel; Dorothy Roberts; Reta (Toots) Goobie; brothers Jasper, William (Bill) and Joseph (Joe) Sharron; his parents-in-law Newman and Edna Caines, as well as his brothers- and sisters-in-laws.
Born in Botwood, Dad spent his entire working life in the telecommunications industry starting his training and work life in St. John’s at the age of 16. He went to Buchans for work and married a Buchans girl and settled down there to rear a family with Mom. He spent a lot of time “on the road” during his career but could often be seen tearing in the Buchans highway on a Friday evening to get home.
Dad was an outdoorsman in his day. He dearly loved exploring the remote areas of central Newfoundland. Whether it was hunting, fishing, hiking, berry picking, swimming, skating or just roaming, he always took great enjoyment and satisfaction from nature and the fantastic untamed wilderness of Newfoundland. He, of course, passed this on to the entire family. He and mom ensured that none of us kids were left out. Kerry and Gail have long and lasting memories of trips up the New Road and across the lake to the camp at Hr. Round. Jon and Todd cut their teeth at the camp on Harry’s River and on the Buchans Plateau. There were always lots of lessons to learn and we all participated in each activity as we chased the seasons across the landscape. In later years Dad focused his energies on his greenhouse and a new camp in Hr. Round. To say that Dad liked bottled rabbit would be an understatement and he thoroughly trained us all on how to catch, clean, cook (and Bottle) his favorite delicacy.
In later years Dad and Mom moved from their beloved Buchans to an apartment in Grand Falls-Windsor where they were a common stop for many friends and family. While declining in health, he relished the opportunity to reminisce with visitors from his treasured box of black and white photos.
You’re forever in our hearts.
A special thank you to Dr. Elizabeth Bautista for being a special friend as well as a Doctor every step of the way.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Buchans United Church would be greatly appreciated.
