RUCKERSVILLE, Virginia
Roger "Roscoe" Lee Thacker Roger "Roscoe" Lee Thacker, 45, of Charlottesville, departed this earthly world on April 8, 2008, at his home. He was born July 16, 1962, to the late Henry Harrison and Marie Morris Thacker. He was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, Gary Wayne Thacker; one sister, Gertrude Ann Johnson; and a special nephew, Woodrow "Woodie" Wayne Clarke Jr. Roscoe is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Judy C. Thacker, one son, Shannon "Bear" Thacker and his wife, Tina, one daughter, Jessica L. Thacker and her partner, Timmy, all of Charlottesville; four of the most precious gifts he received in his life, his grandsons, Isaiah Michael, Damian Wayne, Nathaniel Lee, Zayden Cole; and a nephew especially dear to his heart, Charles "Chucky" Tibbs Jr. In addition, he is survived by his "ol' man," Linwood Thacker of Bremo Bluff; six sisters, Sarah Jackson and her husband, David, also of Bremo Bluff, Mary Jimenez-Ruiz and her husband, Harvey, Mildred Shifflett and her husband, Eddie, all of Charlottesville, Doris Foglio of Scottsville, Pamela Bowles and her husband, Nathan, Angela Felton and her husband, Romano "Boo" all of Fork Union; one brother, Shannon L.

He deeply cherished in his heart any and all time spent together. His career as a "Tow Man" allowed him to meet so many, many people and develop relationships that were valued and long-lasting.

Hey Dad! Its just me jess, I wanted to write and tell you Happy Fathers Day! Its been 4 long years now and not a day passes that I don't think about you...more than anyone knows. Not having you around on this day is very very hard but this is the time I really sit back and think about all the great times we all shared as a family. I just might have me a cold one today just for you!!! It sure would be nice to see your glowing smile and hear that wonderful laugh of yours but I know in my heart...

Hey there Dad, Its just me again!! I thought I would write to say that I love you and miss you so very much!! The family is doing ok, Bear,Tina and the kids have moved down to McKenney with Mom and Isaiah. Its kinda of weird me being the only one here in Charlottesville. I still have my Timothy and boys. I know that Bear had to make a change for himself and family and I do believe that it was a good one, this way he can get back on his feet and hopefully move back up here soon!!!
I miss...
