Roger J. Bergeron

Roger J. Bergeron, 79 of Methuen, passed away peacefully on Friday, February 8, 2019 in Boston surrounded by his wife, children, and grandchildren. High school sweetheart and husband of Jean M. (Campiola) Bergeron for 59 years, he was born in Lawrence to Louis Phillipe and Cecile (Turcotte) Bergeron. Roger graduated from Lawrence High School and received his Bachelor’s Degree in Business at Merrimack College in North Andover. He proudly served his country in the National Guard as a member of the 26th Yankee Division. Roger was a communicant of St. Francis Church in Dracut where he sang in the choir. He also belonged to several local chorus groups, including the Spindle City Singers of Lowell. He was an avid reader and a popular member of his local gym.
