Roger Philip Vigue

Our beloved father, Roger P. Vigue went to join the lord on May 29, 2025, after a long bout with Dementia. He was born in Skowhegan, on April 25, 1946. Roger was the son of the late Joseph and Arlene Vigue of Madison. He was a graduate of Madison High School. Roger is predeceased by the love of his life, Linda L. Andrews Vigue. Roger fell in love with Linda when she was in the eighth grade, dated through high school and married in February 1968. They had raised their family and resided in Madison for their lifetime.

Roger was a hardworking man that would do anything to provide for his family. He was strong, gentle, and kind. He was always a phone call away to help with any problem from household issues like a leaking pipe to a vehicle or lawnmower not starting. He enjoyed being that go to person and was always there to lead the way and lend a hand.

Roger was employed by Madison Paper in 1978 and retired in July 2009 as Head Mechanic.

Over the years, Roger enjoyed hunting at his camp in Solon, where he would be joined by friends and family. He spent a great deal of time teaching the ropes to his son, grandson, and son-in-law as they joined him at deer camp. He also was proud to become hunting partners with his granddaughter, Julia, helping her bag her first deer. His winters were spent on the ice, fishing and in the spring, he would enjoy fishing at their camp on East Carry Pond. Along the same line, he was well versed in the outdoors and would show and teach along the way. He made outdoorsmen out of his son Jeremy and grandson Matthew. He enjoyed camping when his children were young. Roger loved to dance (boogie), and play guitar while singing special songs to his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed celebrating holidays with the entire family. As he aged, he became softer and more affectionate, and would enjoy gardening, playing golf, and listening to country music while puttering around in his woodworking shop. One of his granddaughter Kaitlyn's fondest memories is building birdhouses with her grandfather.

Roger was predeceased by his loving wife of 40 years Linda L Andrews Vigue; parents Arlene and Joseph Vigue; sister (and husband) Marilyn Jean and James Daigle.

Roger leaves behind his loving family, his daughter Holly Eggleston and husband Scott of Madison; his son Jeremy Vigue and wife Kim of Oakland. He was the loving grandfather of Matthew Soucy and wife Sierra of Carmel, Julia Vigue and fiancé Michael Jones of Gray and Kaitlyn Vigue of Portland. He had a special place in his heart for his great-granddaughter Reese Soucy, whom he wished he were able to share more memories with. He is also survived by two sisters, Cheryl Croteau and husband Michael of Standish, and Starla Fortin and husband Lee of Madison; many nieces, nephews, and special friends.

You will always be that special man in our hearts, and we will love you always.

There will be a graveside service for both Roger and Linda as they wished to be buried together, and spend eternity together. This special meeting will be at Forest Hill Cemetery in Madison, on June 16, 2025, at 11 a.m. A celebration of life will follow at Lakewood Golf Course's Clubhouse, to honor their life together.
