Obituary for
Rodger Albino "Budd" Pegoraro
In Loving Memory
of
Rodger (Budd) Albino Pegoraro
(May 12, 1933 – December 16, 2016)
Friday, December 16th, 2016 at Health Sciences North, Sudbury.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years Wilda (Lou) Irene Pegoraro (nee Malleau) and his children Andrew Pegoraro and Ann Pegoraro (Tammy Eger). Rodger will be sadly missed by his grandsons Tony and Joé. Dear brother of Louise Pegoraro, Wanda Canapini (Ernie) and Linda Nicholson (Graeme). Predeceased by his parents Elio and Inez (nee Fluvian) Pegoraro.
Rodger was born in Sudbury and lived the majority of his life here. He was equally proud of his service to his country during the Korean Conflict as he was of his professional life spent mostly employed at Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd. where he retired from in 1991. Rodger loved to travel, especially with his wife in early retirement and was known for his skills at building violins and restoring his beloved Ford Model T and MGB.
The family would like to thank Dr. Young, Dr. Bowen and Dr. Olivier for their excellent care during his lifetime. In addition, the family is grateful for the care he received during his recent stay at Health Sciences North, specifically thanks to the nurses on the South Tower 4th floor, and the 4th and 7th floor of the North Tower who all made his last moments as comfortable as possible.
