Roger is survived by his sister Shirley (late David) Vill, brother-in-law John (late Patsy) Michael and sister-in-law Barbara (late Colter) Osborne; his children: Valerie Lehman, Deborah Raught, and Frank (Margie) Lehman, Michael (Hope) McLaughlin and Vicky (Brad) Smith; his grandchildren: Wesley (Amber) Anastasi, Lisa (Rick) Benson, Dominic Anastasi, Julie (Will) Henwood, Rachel (Jared) Brimberry, Katharine (Gavin Atkins) Raught, Heather Lehman, Amber (Nick) Widmer, Alex McLaughlin, Zoe McLaughlin, Avery Smith, Ian Smith, Blake Meyer and Presley Meyer; and great-grandchildren: Dylan, Isabella, Grayson, Ava, Emily, Jackson, Annie, Emma, Olivia, and Mira; also several nieces and nephews.
Roger served as a navigator in the US Air Force, retiring from the Air Force Reserve with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He earned a B.S. and M.S. in electrical engineering from SUNY at Buffalo. Roger taught Electrical Technology and served as Chair of the Technology and Mathematics Departments at Niagara County Community College. Roger was seen as a resourceful leader and a stalwart advocate of the college by both colleagues and the administration. He was awarded Professor Emeritus status upon his retirement after 30 years of service. His influence extended to all aspects of his life and was embraced and valued. Roger's passions included golf, travel, and bridge. He was an avid bridge player and attained Grand Master status. He designed and built the family homes. Roger had a wry sense of humor, and enjoyed sharing his reactionary opinions, hoping to generate debate. His happy place was Long Point, Ontario, at the cottage that he and his uncles helped his father build in 1945. His family was his true north, and he will be greatly missed.
A celebration of Roger's life will take place on Saturday, January 6, at Classics V (2425 Niagara Falls Blvd., Amherst, NY) from 3-5pm. All are invited to come, share a story, and remember this remarkable man.

On Wednesday, Jan. 4th the
golden wedding anniversary oh
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Baehr was
celebrated at their hone in Shelby
Center. On Jan. 4, 1883 they
were married by Rev. Staerker in
Wolcottsvllle, N. Y.
Their brothers and sisters with
their respective spouses, the children
and grandchildren assembled
at the residence at 8 o'clock p. m.
The celebration was begun with a
short service, Rev. C. Poeekler officiating.
After a solo on the words
of Pa. 91, i-6 by the pastor, he also
gave an address on 1 Samuel 7,18:
"Then Samuel took a stone, and
set it between Mfsoeh and Shen,
and called the name of it Ebenezer,
saying. Hitherto hath the
Lord helped us." Then the golden
wedding ritual was used closing
with prayer suitable for the occasion.
The service ended by another
solo by the pastor:
"All depends on our possessing
God's free love and grace blessing.
Though all earthly wealth depart;
He who God for bis hath taken,
'Mid the changing world unshaken
Keeps a free, heroic heart.
He who hitherto hath fed me.
And to many a Joy hath led me.
Is and shall be ever mine;
He who did so gently school me.
He who still doth guide and rule
me, *
Will not leave me now to pine.
Shall I weary mo with fretting
O'er vain trifles, and regretting
Things that never can remain?
I will strive but that to win me
Which can shed true rest within
me,-
Rest the world must seek in vain
