Roger Baffoni Obituary

Roger Baffoni of Lodi, California passed away after a brief illness on July 20, 2022 at the age of 86.
Roger was born in Detroit Michigan and moved to Lodi at an early age. He was a life-long resident of Lodi where he worked and owned Squires Clothiers in Downtown Lodi with his brother Biff Baffoni for nearly 40 years before he retired at the age of 63.
Roger was a proud veteran of the US Army who worked and served his community for many years. He enjoyed donating his time cooking for Italian Club dinners, working at his grandchildren's school functions, and enjoyed visiting with his family in Italy and France. He especially enjoyed spending time with his immediate family on vacations and at their homes for large Italian family dinners. His passions included spending time with his wife at their favorite restaurants, cooking, canning, going to the gym, and listening to all of the family stories. He had a passion for life, loved to make people laugh, and always took time to talk and tell stories.
He is survived by his wife, Martha (Machie) Baffoni, along with his children: David and Pam Baffoni of Galt, Michele and Chris Mendenhall of Granite Bay. Grandchildren: Garrett and Hannah Baffoni, Julia Baffoni, Sydney and Drake Mendenhall.
Roger is preceded in death by his beloved wife and mother of his children, Irene Baffoni, and his father and mother, Tony and Maria Baffoni.
A burial service will be held with immediate family only.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or Shriners Hospitals for Children.
