Roger’s greatest passion in life was being out on the water. As a child, he always found a way to be connected to the water; whether rebuilding an old boat or exploring the shores near his Quincy Home. He was a passionate sailor and an active member of the Webster Sailing Association for 40 years. He was also a member of the Holden Hills Tennis Club and the New England Ice Yacht Association. Roger enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and was always active; playing tennis, iceboating, skiing or cruising in his Mazda Miata he affectionately called “Baby.”

The family would like to thank the staff at UMass University Medical Center for their kindness, compassion and exceptional care, especially Dr. Dennis A. Tighe and ICU Nurse Lisa.
