DELAWARE — Roger Allen Carmody, 77, of Delaware and formerly of Lancaster and Ostrander, passed away Sunday afternoon, Sept. 13, 2015.
He was born May 5, 1938 in Springfield, Ohio to the late William and Marie (Fiessinger) Carmody. Roger served his country during the Korean War as a member of the United States Army National Guard.
Roger was in the automobile business for 43 years and came to Lancaster as part-owner of Fairfield Motors, Inc., the local Volkswagen dealership. In 1976, he opened his own dealership, Carmody Motors, Inc. and was the franchised dealer for Fiat, Subaru, Mazda, Saab, Dodge and Starcraft Mini Motor Homes.

In recent years, he was a member of the Old Stone Presbyterian Church in Delaware, Ostrander Senior Citizens and Delaware County Senior Citizens.
Left to cherish his memory are daughters, Laura (Rick) Lewis of Powell and Corinne Moore of Plain City; grandchildren, Jason and Jacob Lewis and Alex and Dylan Moore; sister, Marie Arthur of Charlottesville, Virginia; several cousins; and former son-in-law, Christopher Moore.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Connie on March 23, 2007; a brother, John Carmody; and a sister, Margaret Carmody.

I treasure the wonderful memories we had w/our families.
My Dad got my first car, Chevy Chevette from Roger's dealership. Loved that lil' car. Spent a lot of time at Carmody Motors w/my Dad.
Roger making home-made ice cream, going camping... Memories were made & love was formed.
