Roger H. Gratton

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to Roger's immediate and extended family members as well as his friends. Just today I read the sad news. Reading of his love of hunting and fishing reminded me of the good old days when I would stay over at the Gratton's house. Michelle's "older brother" loved to tease us. The whole crew which included mostly uncles & cousins, would gather in the early morning hours at Roger's house before heading out on their hunting expeditions. Everyone would tip toe around the kitchen and try to keep quiet....except Roger. Michelle & I would be sleeping in the front room and Roger would be sure to slam the cupboard doors and talk loud! He felt that if he was up that early, we should be too! Good ol'Roger. He had a good sense of humor and always kept everyone entertained.
Let all of the good memories prevail to guide you through this difficult time.
Take care -
Penny

I love you all. I hope to provide the comfort and peace that you've all so greatly provided for Corey and I during this time. I love you and please know that now Dad (Roger) will be with us always. The memories will stay with us forever, all the hurt will subside, and the love for him and from him will be eternal.

I Love you all,

Please accept our deepest sympathies and know your in our thoughts. Take Care

Uncle Ernest, Taunte Helen, and family,

Although I never really knew Roger, I've heard the fond stories that Mom, Aunt Debbie, and Nana always shared of life for him on the farm. I know things haven't been easy, but I have to believe that he is at peace and is looking down on all of us remembering these same memories. I hope we can all take peace in that.

Please accept our deepest sympathies.

I remember the little skinny boy who always stuck up for me when I was in trouble..the one who I spent many hours in the barn with helping him with chores..the many things he taught me even though he was younger..I just saw him weeks ago and will remember the last hug and kiss he gave me for the rest of my life...know you are all in my prayers and thoughts..and Roger, I can only hope you are in a peaceful place now...I love you.......Debbie

Roger was a special person. I remember him as a little boy playing in the barn or in a pile of dirt with his trucks at Ma and Dad's. Anyone who knew him could see his love of walking in the woods and working the land. He loved his family and cared about his friends. He was a good man who at last is at peace! He will be remembered by many, and kept in our prayers. My love and sympathy is with your all.

Love, Linda

Offering our sympathies during this time.
