Roger Goscombe, of Pepperell, born 1951 in Bristol, England suddenly passed away in his home on April 25th. Roger was raised in England, attended Speedwell Boys of Bristol School as a young boy, later he studied at Ford Engine Plant at Dagenham. Roger worked for Shell Max and BP after leaving school in the England.

Roger arrived in the US in 1975, briefly living in Boston before settling in Pepperell later that year. Roger founded the Century 21 real estate business in the late 80's. His firm went on be recognized as one of the most trusted and respected business in the region. In addition to his extraordinary business acumen, Roger donated countless hours over the last 3 decades to community service. He was known as a generous supporter and advocate for many conservation and artistic organizations in the Nashoba Valley.

Roger was a caring son, a devoted husband, a loving father, and an enthusiastic grandparent, who was crazy about his grandchildren. He is survived by his wife, Lisa Hamilton-Goscombe, their sons, Dan and Mitch, Mitch's wife, Tara and his grandchildren, Decklan and Olive, his mother, Edna Doreen Goscombe; as well as his sister, Ann Greenaway and her sons, Ben Greenaway and Joe Haskins.

His family and friends will make every effort to continue to embrace and expand upon Roger's enduring legacy of community involvement, and especially the kindness and caring he exhibited daily in his life here in Pepperell.

At this time, Roger's family wishes to honor his desire not to hold a public service, but thank the community for their wonderful expressions of heartfelt love and support. A celebration of Roger's life will be planned at a later date.
