We are very sad to share that Roland Edward Buckley, aged 78, from Orléans, Ontario, died peacefully on May 5th, surrounded by his loved ones. He was born in Newcastle, New Brunswick to Vincent and Regina Buckley.
Roland spent much of his career as an Electrical Project Manager working mostly in Alberta and Ontario. He was a devoted husband, dad, grandpa, brother, and friend. People knew him for his hard work, love of music especially playing guitar, kindness, patience, and willingness to lend a hand whenever needed.
He leaves behind his wife Francine; sons Daniel and Kris; granddaughter Whitney; sister Dorenda Jardine; brothers Brian, Greg, and Charles; cousin Lawrence Buckley; aunt Mary Buckley; plus many in-laws along with nieces, nephews cousins and friends. His parents Vincent and Regina had passed away before him.
The family wants to thank their friend Paul Maybe; the first responders who helped them; the staff at Montfort Hospital and Ottawa Heart Institute for all their care during Roland’s last days; friends who stayed by his side in hospital; and everyone who sent flowers or food to their home.
A Celebration of Life for Roland will take place Saturday May 30th from 1:00 to 4:00 p. m. at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites located at 500 Brisebois Crescent in Orléans.
