Roger Perron, 88, of Spencer, left his life on earth on April 10th to be with his beloved wife, Gurlie in eternal life.

Roger was born in 1933 to Ludovic and M. Alice (Letendre) Perron. He graduated from David Prouty High School in 1952, then joined the Air Force serving during the Korean Conflict. When he returned to Spencer, where he was a lifelong resident, he worked as a licensed plumber and gas fitter. He was in business for himself, then worked many years for Thermo Engineering in Worcester MA. He also worked a second job pumping septic tanks in the famous Sooper Dooper Pooper Scooper so that his wife could be home with their daughters during their childhood.

Roger was a member of the Spencer Fire Department for 33 years where he met many brothers and made lasting friendships. He also was a member of the American Legion Post 138 in Spencer and NAFCA. Roger also liked riding motorcycles and going to races with his motorcycle buddies.

His favorite pastime was mowing the neighborhood lawns on his 1942 Cub tractor which he rebuilt from the ground up. Roger spent many hours in his blueberry patch tending to his 200 blueberry bushes. He loved to make people laugh with his many stories and jokes. He spent many hours of his last two years entertaining the caregivers at Quaboag Rehab and Skilled Care Center and was rewarded with some midnight snacks.
