Roger Pettipas, OFS Obit.,
  March 15, 2022

Pettipas, Roger Francis
Published: March 15, 2022
We sadly an­nounce the pass­ing on March 12, 2022, of Roger Fran­cis Pettipas, 73, the sec­ond son of Leo and Eliz­a­beth (Grady) Pet­ti­pas of East Chezzetcook. 
Picture
Born in 1948 in Goose Bay, N.L., while the then-young fam­ily was sta­tioned there with the RCAF, Roger had one older brother, Leo and two younger sib­lings, Gerry and Joanne. As with mil­i­tary fam­i­lies, Roger ended up liv­ing on sev­eral air force bases across the coun­try: Gorsebrook in Hal­i­fax, St. Sylvestre Que., Beaverbank, Portage la Prairie Man., and Hal­i­fax be­fore his fa­ther re­tired and the fam­ily moved to East Chezzetcook. Once grad­u­ated from high school, Roger went on to study chem­i­cal tech­nol­ogy at the Nova Sco­tia East­ern In­sti­tute of Tech­nol­ogy in Syd­ney. He sub­se­quently found em­ploy­ment with Nova Sco­tia Food and Drug, and after many years of serv­ing with dis­tinc­tion, he re­tired from the Cana­dian Food In­spec­tion Agency in Dart­mouth. Roger’s in­ter­est in organ music led him to ac­quire on his own a skill in play­ing the organ. His deep re­li­gious sen­ti­ments found ex­pres­sion in the Third Order of St. Fran­cis and the St. Vin­cent de Paul So­ci­ety. He was re­cently di­ag­nosed with can­cer; he suc­cumbed to the com­pli­ca­tions from this and other ail­ments on March 12, 2022, in the Hal­i­fax In­fir­mary Site, QEII. He leaves his other sib­lings, Leo (Kather­ine) of St. Nor­bert Man.; Arch­bishop Ger­ard of Grande Prairie, Alta.; and Joanne in East Chezzetcook; his for­mer wife, Jan­ice (Gillis), and sev­eral ex­tended fam­ily mem­bers in Nova Sco­tia, New Brunswick and On­tario. A wake will be held in Dart­mouth Fu­neral Home, 29 Queen Street, Dart­mouth, today, March 15th, 7-9 p.m., with a Fu­neral Mass in St. Theresa’s Church, North Street, Hal­i­fax, to­mor­row, March 16th, at 11 a.m., with Arch­bishop Ger­ard Pet­ti­pas pre­sid­ing. In­ter­ment will take place at 3 p.m. in St. Genevieve Ceme­tery, East Chezzetcook. Do­na­tions may be made in his name to the char­ity of your choice.
