Roger Duchow

May 24, 1945 - November 8, 2025

Roger Bruce Duchow, 80, passed away on November 8, 2025, in Monona, Wisc.

Born on May 24, 1945, in Milwaukee, Wisc., Roger was the son of George and Myra Duchow. He grew up in Milwaukee and graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1967 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering.

A longtime resident of Pewaukee, Wisc., Roger spent 37 years living on Pewaukee Lake. His professional life reflected his entrepreneurial drive and dedication. He co-owned and operated Duchow's Marine, a respected boat dealership in Milwaukee that served boating enthusiasts throughout the region and expanded to five locations at its peak. Later in his career, he transitioned into commercial real estate as a broker with Ogden & Co. Inc., where he continued to demonstrate his strong work ethic.

Roger is remembered by his family, including his sons, David (Caroline) of Madison, Wisc., and Brian of Pewaukee, Wisc.; granddaughters, Eleanor and Amanda; and step-granddaughters, Sarah and Maria. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Richard.

He will be laid to rest at a private ceremony at Wisconsin Memorial Park.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
