Roger Paul Schwartz

While his greatest accomplishment in life was being a family man, he was an esteemed employee of Ralph’s Teamsters for 22 years. He enlisted in the United States Army at the young age of 17 and was proud to serve his country in the Vietnam War.

In his life he was an avid biker, cook, camper, boater and fisherman. Nothing made him happier than to take his family to experience the great outdoors. Even in his death, his outdoor adventures in life will continue. He created endless family held traditions that will carry on for many generations. He was also a lover of all things edible, especially Chinese food.

A romantic at heart, he married the beautiful love of his life, Molly, in 1999. He will be lovingly remembered by his brother Marty; children David, Daniel, Danny, Michelle, Jessica, Michael and Natalie; grandchildren Monique, Benjamin, Daniel, Ciera, Steven, Damien and Adam; nephew Joey; best friend Bobby; as well as the second love of his life, his dog Max. His family will most remember him for his compassion for everyone he met, his unwavering honesty, how he laughed with his whole body and how his loving heart had a way of making everyone in his presence feel like family. His silliness and thunderous farts made him a hero to his grandchildren.

He left a legacy that touched so many people’s lives and his spirit will continue to live on through them. His unpredictable humor will be missed by all and the world will never be the same without him.
