Private funeral services and interment were held for Roger D. Hanscom Sr, who passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Saturday, November 29th, after a long illness. He was 74 years old.

He is the devoted husband of 52 years to the love of his life Debra J. Hanscom of Saugus, formerly of Revere; the loving father of Jennifer A. Duggan and her husband Patrick of Saugus, Roger D. Hanscom and his wife Kristin of Revere, and the late Joseph L. Hanscom. He was the cherished grandfather of Tyler and Jaxson Duggan of Saugus, and Ryan, Khloe and Kasey Hanscom of Revere.

Roger began his career with the City of Revere Housing Authority, where he later became a supervisor. His dedicated service to the city spanned more than 25 plus years. A quiet and humble man, Roger found joy in the simple things, especially time spent with family and friends. He loved traveling and exploring new places. He was also an avid music lover, particularly of country music.

Roger now reunites in heaven with his beloved son, Joseph, where he will find peace and restored health.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Roger's memory to a deeply meaningful organization he and his wife founded in honor of their late son Joseph: Just a Little Help Burial Fund, P.O. Box 262, Revere, MA 02151.
