Roger WALDEGRAVE Obituary

WALDEGRAVE, Roger:
It is with great sadness that Pip, Melita, Heidi and Sacha announce the sudden death
of their much loved husband and dad, Roger Michael Waldegrave in Wellington Hospital on Sunday 26th March 2023. He was surrounded by his beloved Punda and their girls who he was so proud of. He passed away peacefully. He will be sadly missed by his sons in law and grandchildren as well as his extended family and friends. A private cremation was held on Thursday 30th March 2023 in Waikanae. As the man himself would say, "Rog, your blood is worth bottling." Thank you to the team at 7 South at Wellington Hospital and Jimmy Janssen for their care, compassion and support.

Hi Pip and family,
My memories of Roger go back to his insurance days with the AMP. Of course, Jim Norling added memories from the boat shed days. Was he really left on a buoy in Evans Bay by his 'friends at midnight?
Of course I enjoyed the catch up gatherings at Ewings and your place each summer. A great guy and like you I will really miss him. Geoff McMillan. Glastonbury.
Love to hear from you again, Pip. Loved the coffee you and Roger always greeted me with! Really miss that!

So very sorry to hear of your sudden loss of Roger - he was a great Dad and I know you were all very close to him. May the memories you cherish of Him bring you comfort now and in the weeks ahead.

To Pip, Melita. Heidi, Sacha and your families my sincerest condolences.

Roger was a great guy always the first to be there to help his friends out, kind and caring and extremely hospitable. In our younger days our group of friends had so much fun at the boat shed in Evans Bay, up the mountain, weekends at the Wairakei Hotel which were legendary and latterly our bike trips around New Zealand.

Rest in Peace my friend.
