It is with heavy hearts that the family of Roger Habersham announces that he has unexpectedly left us. We say goodbye to a beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, trusted friend and neighbor. Roger was a leader, a warrior, a fighter, a survivor and a protector. He enjoyed his life to the fullest he could after his sacrifice for his country.

He will be forever missed by his many relatives and all who knew him and also in the Veteran community and his ex-coworkers.

A Time to Embrace

Roger was a no-nonsense person, serious and always on top of things, especially his health. He had a big bite but at the end of the day he was as gentle as a lamb. He enjoyed giving advice, sharing stories and his wisdom on education, work, and success and always meant well. His favorite words are "You can't achieve anything sitting down."
