Remembering Roger Dee by mudshark:

Roger had been sick for the past few months. He was diagnosed with terminal Amyeloid Leukaemia in December and, although he fought the good fight, as we knew he would, he died from the disease on March 27th, 2023.

We all have many good memories of our time at Nitinat with Roger. He was a fixture there and many of us will have images of him riding his Roberts with the fiery nose or sitting on the beach having a beer or relaxing in front of his A-frame windsurf home having a steak and glass of wine.

He was blessed to have had his two adult aged children, Natalie and Phoenix and Sophia with him in the house for his journey, until the winds died. May he rest in peace riding the waves in the hereafter. Roger's Obituary

I leave you with a photo collection of Roger's time at Nitinat, and simply the best character shot his closest sailing friends could find of him, to share with the wind community.
