Roger was a veteran of the U.S Army in World War II. He served our country for 3 years as Private 1st class with the 179th Engineer Combat Battalion, serving in North Africa, Southern France, Italy, Sicily and Anzio Beach. Roger enjoyed 26 years of sulky racing with his wife, Marion, traveling throughout New England. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. He passed this love of hunting and fishing on to his son and grandsons. As a vocation he chose to be a small engines mechanic and would take on any mechanical challenge. After retirement he continued to work on the equipment required to maintain his land. He also picked up the sport of bowling which he enjoyed for the rest of his days, making many good friends along the way.

Roger was a good husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. We all love him and miss him.
