Roger Hoyle Obituary
AUBURN - Roger L. Hoyle, 76, a lifelong Auburn resident died Tuesday January 14, 2020 at the Rose Monahan Hospice Home in Worcester after a short illness.
Roger was born in Worcester and raised in Auburn son of the late William I and Hazel I. (Lambert) Hoyle. He graduated from Auburn High School in 1962 and spent several years serving in the Massachusetts National Guard.
Roger met and married his true love, Sally A. Carlson in 1967, together they spent the next 42 years of marriage raising their daughters, welcoming four grandsons and enjoying their life together as a family before she passed on January 3, 2009.
He was employed for over 33 years as a route driver for the J.J. Nissen Baking Company in Worcester before he retired. Roger missed driving and interacting with the public each day so he took a job in his retirement years with Helen's Bakery in Worcester, making the daily deliveries, a job he loved.
Roger surrounded himself with wonderful people, he cherished his family, especially his four grandsons, who were his pride and joy. After his family, Roger's second passion was football, he enjoyed hosting the "Neighborhood Men" every Sunday throughout the football season for many years. Roger always looked forward to the annual family vacation in Dennis, MA. He was a faithful member of the Auburn/Webster Lodge of Elks and was a member of Local # 170.
He leaves his daughters, Leah M. Kozlowski and her husband Robert of Auburn and Lauren A. Dubeau and her husband Jeffrey of Douglas; four grandsons, Ryan and Erik Kozlowski of Auburn and Max and Jack Dubeau of Douglas; also survived by many wonderful friends and neighbors.

I once cut trees at Rogers house,and he shot a TV commercial with me that day. The commercial aired for several weeks on local TV. He was always good to me and I'll never forget him for that.

As a member of the Auburn High Class of 1965, I have know Roger since we began high school together. He was the real deal. He and Sally had a wonderful life together. After she passed, he maintained his unique sense of humor and laid back style of living life while missing her every minute of every day. I will miss seeing him at all our high school reunions. I will miss our phone conversations since I couldn't ever email a man without a computer. He brightened the lives of all of us who were honored to be his friends.

Lauren, you were always so gracious in inviting me to spend time with you and your family on your Cape Cod vacations. I always looked forward to sharing a bloody mary (and some laughs!) with Roger - He truly appreciated my secret recipe! A wonderful man. I feel lucky to have known him. I am so, so sorry for your family's loss.
