Roger Yesh Obituary

Roger C. Yesh, age 90, passed away on February 18, 2021 in his home surrounded by loved ones. He was born in Bronson, Michigan to Joseph and Gertrude (Kolassa) Yesh on July 8, 1930. He graduated from Bronson High School in 1949. He was a member of the U.S. Army and served in the Korean War.

Roger married his love Rosalie George on October 14, 1967 in Bronson. In 1968, they moved to Richmond and he was the Purchasing Manager at Dunham Lehr. He retired from US Plate Glass Company in Lewisburg, Ohio. Roger was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church. He was known for being a handyman. An excellent woodworker, he made many cherished pieces of furniture for his family. He enjoyed fishing, reading mystery novels, painting by number and most of all spending time with his family.

Roger is survived by his wife Rosalie, his daughter Alyssa Yesh and son Jeffrey (Lori) Yesh, granddaughters Keira and Hanna, his sister Shirley (Garth) Rowland and many nieces, nephews and friends. A special thank you to family friend Mynde Turner. He is preceded in death by his parents Joseph and Gertrude, brother Kenneth Yesh and sister Geraldine (Maurice) Arendt.

Father Sengole Gnaneraj will officiate a private memorial service with Riggle-Waltermann handling arrangements. Memorial contributions may be made to the charity of your choice.

Rest in peace Uncle Rog. I sure will miss your smile and your wit. I have many fond memories of fishing and times at the cottage on the lake when I was a youngster. Wish we could have shared a few more beers. Love you, Colleen
