Hawley Rogers

born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1938 to Winfield and Ruth Hawley Rogers. Both parents died when

he was 8 and he and his elder brother, Randy, moved north from New Orleans, LA. to live with

family in South Bend, Indiana. After graduating from Berkshire School in Sheffield, MA, in

1956, he graduated from Yale University in 1960. Many of his favorite memories were made in

the time he spent singing with the Whiffenpoofs of 1960. In 1961 he married Wendy Anne

Webb of Newtown, CT. and began his teaching career at Eaglebrook School in Deerfield, MA. 8

years later he moved to Glencoe, Md. where he was Assistant Headmaster and taught English at

Oldfields School. He was appointed Headmaster in 1976 and led the school for over 20

years. He retired in 1997 and moved to Palm Coast, FL in 1998. In 2004 he briefly rejoined the

school community as Interim Headmaster at Berkshire School in Sheffield, Massachusetts.

During his academic career he studied at the University of Massachusetts and earned a Masters

degree from Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD. He served his country in the U. S. Army and the

Army National Guard of Massachusetts. He loved his family, his friends, and his dogs. Singing

(second bass), playing golf, reading, writing, and playing guitar gave him great pleasure. He

enjoyed being part of a Readers’Theater group in Palm Coast and sang with the Mix and Match

Chorus and local quartets. He was an Elder at Trinity Presbyterian Church. He looked forward to

vacations spent in Madison, Ct. and Nantucket, MA. He was strong, kind, and loving, extending

fairness and gentleness towards all and loved by many in return.

He is survived by his wife and best friend of 60 years, Wendy Webb Rogers, his son, John

"Randy" Rogers (Mary-Katherine Calligan Rogers) of Palm Coast, FL., his daughter, Dr. Laura

Rogers Towne (Jason Towne) of St. Augustine, Fl., his son, Paul Rogers (Jessica Spivey Rogers)

of Sausalito, CA., his five grandchildren Callie, Ali, William, Sarah, and Mary-Jane, and many

beloved nieces and nephews.
