John Victor “Vic” Rogers, founder of Calgary’s Rogers and Partners Securities Inc., succumbed to prostate cancer on March 29. He was 72-years-old.

Rogers spent his entire business career in the investment business, beginning with Nesbitt Thompson in Montreal; transferring with NT to London, Ont., then to Calgary, where he eventually started Rogers and Partners Securities. He particularly enjoyed financing small companies.

In lieu of flowers, the family would be most grateful if friends wishing to perpetuate Rogers’ memory would consider donations in his name to either:
