It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the passing of Kenneth Roocroft.
He passed away peacefully in his 89th year at Lakeridge Health – Ajax Hospital.
Kenneth was the beloved and devoted husband of 68 years to Betty Roocroft.

He will be lovingly remembered by his sister, Edna Kelly and countless other family members in England.

He enjoyed the game of cricket, reading a good book, and solving Sudoku and crosswords puzzles. Some of his guilty pleasures included cheesies, specifically Cheetos, and giving whisker rubs.
