Clifford Rogers Obituary

Rogers Clifford L. January 13, 2024, age 73, of Philadelphia, PA, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family, after a long battle with cancer. Cliff was the consummate educator, first coming to Philadelphia to earn his M.Ed. degree at Temple University because he loved to teach. He served as a middle school special ed./science teacher, while attending Temple part time to earn supervisory certificates and eventually his Ed.D., becoming a building principal then assistant superintendent at the Norristown School District, and eventually retiring as the superintendent of the Perkiomen Valley School District. He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Susan, and his 3 children, Adam (Danielle), Erica (Spencer), and Simon (Meghan), his grandchildren Forest, Reese, Nora, Willa, and Miles, his brothers Kenneth (Kathleen) and Donald (Deborah), and his mother Pauline Rogers and will be sorely missed by all of us.

As a parent of a gifted student when Cliff Rogers took over as Superintendent of PVSD, it was an honor to get to know him & all that he did to further true academic values within the district. He was a lovely person, and I´m sorry it took me so long to try to look him up to let him know what a positive impact he had on a fatherless child. His words of encouragement, his dedication, and his kindness will never be forgotten. May God hold him in the palm of his hand for all eternity! RIP

Dear, sweet Cliff- crushed to hear of his passing.
I´ll miss our candid (sometimes deep, sometimes hysterical) conversations as I cut his hair!
Condolences to Sue & family.

The only difference in my mind between Cliff Rogers and Mr. Fred Rogers was their first names...what a heck of a nice guy!! If only our world had more like him.
