Roger is survived by his wife of 54 years, Joyce (Church) Puckett, of Oak Hill; children, Alice (James) Cooper, of Oak Hill, Thomas James (Stacy) Puckett, of Chillicothe, Ohio; two grandchildren, Savanna (Cody) Harvey and Noah Cooper (Taylor Chapman); and brother, Jeff (Sally) Puckett.

Throughout his childhood he worked on his farm until he was drafted into the Vietnam War in 1969, spending 13 months and earning several medals. He met his wife Joyce in 1971, and they married a year later. They went on to have two children. Roger worked at Osco for several years. He enjoyed riding motorcycles, four wheelers, etc. and also enjoyed woodworking. He loved sitting on his front porch with his wife in the evening and waving to the neighbors as they passed by. Of all things, his favorite was being a grandpa. He never missed a chance to play a joke and have fun with his grandchildren.

The family would like to acknowledge Abbeyshire of Bidwell, for their care and compassion during Roger’s short stay.
