Roger was a joy and mentor to those who knew him. We at Lasata Heights appreciated his strong Catholic faith, his dry sense of humor and his genuine interest in the wellbeing of those around him. He loved cribbage, golf and above all his family. He was a teacher and an unofficial “ambassador” for Lasata. A favorite outreach of his was giving commemorative bracelets (pictured below) to veterans and first responders. Second photo is from Cedarburg’s 2025 Memorial Day Parade.

He is deeply missed.

Oh, Roger, you were truly my extraordinary friend, neighbor and brother. Who would have ever thought that the two of us would have ever become as close as we did. it's been quite the ride. Sure did enjoy the many times together. From the time we just moved into this splendid neighborhood and upon just meeting you, you came over armed with a shovel to help me spread gravel for a new driveway. And Romayne bringing dinner to Robyn, Aaron and I as we didn't have a stove in the house yet. Oh, the laughs we and the pranks, you know what I mean! Romayne, me and the motorcycle, the Christmas potty chair thrones, Woolsey's sailboat just to name a few! I so enjoyed our almost daily visits through the years. Some I would just disagree with you, just to get you all riled up. I thought it was funny anyway! I saw you hurt so bad when it was Romayne's time to leave this world. All I had was hugs for you. She was your world. My heart hurt so bad when it was time for you to let go of this wonderful neighborhood of ours. As we always had each other's friendship and love. Mark and Robyn

Roger was a dear friend I met at Lasata Hts. We quickly learned that we had Chicago’s Tam O’Shanter Golf Club in common.

Roger enjoyed gardening, sharing how the Lasata’s hostas should be cared for. Working puzzles with his floormates was time with friends, “The potluck “ dinners became a guessing game as to who made his dish. As spring grew near, he would be thinking of golf. At the age of 92 he purchased new golf shoes, ready to, once again, challenge his family on the golf course.

Roger felt he was blessed to have a wonderful family and enjoyed his special time with them.

He left his mark and will be dearly missed.

With sympathy and love to his family,

Barbara

Well a goodbye or more like a see you later Roger to one of the best salesman i ever had at Green Boyz. He must have referred 50 people to have me fertilize there lawns. Roger was a very well respected and well spoken member of the waupaca community. I have already been missing seeing him and his wife taking walks on the roads around his house. I will never forget running an estimate for a gentleman on Emmons creek road and here comes Roger walking out of the woods from turkey hunting sees me and walks right up to me and starting talking until the guy gave the ok. Was a true pleasure knowing him and my condolences to his family. Ill never forget him. Seth Green Boyz Lawncare

My condolences to Rodgers daugthers and grandchildren. I will miss him dearly. He was such a sweet dear man. He remembered to even call me on my 40th birthday this year. I went to visit him at Lasata Heights after I stopped working at Lasata and went to work for my church. We still kept in touch. I will cherish our talks and walks we had together. Hugs to his daughters. I will miss you Roger my friend.

Roger was a cousin of Bill, Bob, Judy and me
(the Wagners) Bill joined the US Army through Roger’s influence. Bill and I also followed in Roger’s footsteps to become law enforcement officers. Roger had a significant impact on our lives and his parents, Nick and Irene, had numerous family gatherings that give us cherished memories. His parents were awesome people.
Julie and I would like to extend our condolences to his family and friends. We will miss him but know he is in a better place with Romayne and family.
