Roger Contento Obituary

Contento, Roger
OXFORD, N.C. - Roger Contento was called home by the Lord on December 22, 2023. Roger was a former police officer for the Town of Bethlehem, and retired from the Albany Police Department. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Ruth, his four children, Roger, Teresa, Lynn, Anthony (Allison), and his 13 grandchildren, and 10 great grandchildren. A private celebration of life will be held this summer by his family. He was loved and cherished by many. His laughter, thoughts on life, and his love for us shall continue to flourish in our hearts. He will be missed.
