Roger Neville Barclay
Born in Victoria, BC. Roger was the oldest son of the late Guy and Adele Barclay. He is survived by his adopted son Andrew Daniel Barclay (Cindy). He will also be missed by his brother Patrick (Margaret) of Kimberley BC.
Roger attended Willows Elementary, Glenlyon and Oak Bay High in Victoria.
Roger worked as a surveyor with the Water Rights Branch of the BC Government which later became part of the Ministry of Environment retiring from there in 1992. From 1992 to 1996 Roger was a full-time foster parent for troubled teenage boys. He continued to be involved with many of these boys (men) until he passed away and took great pleasure in regularly contacting them to check on how they and their families were doing and by supporting them in whatever way he could. In return, many of these men continued to check on Roger up to his final days.
In 1996 Roger retired from paying jobs to become a gentleman cabinet-maker, bike builder, BMX supporter, and a true caring friend to many.

"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But Roger Barclay didn't have that problem."
