Roger loved to hunt and fish, especially with his grandsons by his side.

A lot of memories from knowing Roger. First, my husband, Jeff and I bought property off of Roger. We are lucky enough to live close by and often saw him either mowing our field or down at the barn. Roger being Jeff's uncle, was a true father-figure. Roger and Jeff traveled on many hunting trips and have many good and definitely funny memories. We will miss him so much. RIP Uncle Rog - we love ya!

When I moved to the area as a "new vet", I didn't know Roger as well as many people, but I quickly learned that Roger was a legend in his community. I heard many Vermont farmers tell Roger Shattuck stories over the years. He was known for his sense of humor. It seemed he had worked with so many people doing so many things. He leaves a wonderful family as a legacy, and I am so sorry for their loss. Please accept my condolences.
