In Memoriam: Roger Aston, FPInnovations

August 6, 2015 - Longtime industry colleague Roger Aston recently passed away after a long battle with cancer.  Roger retired from FPInnovations/Forintek following a long career in formaldehyde certification and industry research. In the 1990’s, he managed the Canadian Particleboard Association’s formaldehyde certification program and was instrumental in transitioning the program into the CPA after the organizations consolidated in 1997. Roger continued to support CPA’s Grademark program by auditing eastern Canadian mills until his retirement. Roger will be remembered fondly and greatly missed by the industry.
