Roger Rosinski Obituary
Beverly, MA - Roger Rosinski, 80, of Beverly, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on November 2, 2025.
He was born in Spartanburg, South Carolina, to Fritz and Margaret Rosinski, and grew up in Claremont, New Hampshire. He attended Stevens High School, where he played several sports and excelled in football. He went on to attend Cushing Academy and then Boston University, where he played fullback and lettered 3 years on the football team and participated in the ROTC program. After graduating from BU, he served as a Second Lieutenant in the Army and was stationed in Korea during the Vietnam era, regularly assigned to the DMZ. During his service, he played on the Division football team and became an avid bridge player.
Following his military service, Mr. Rosinski moved to Beverly, where he taught physical education and coached football for more than 30 years. He served as an assistant coach until 1990, when he was appointed head coach. During this time, he also earned his Master's in Education from Salem State. His coaching style emphasized discipline and technical execution. During his 11 years as head coach, the Panthers recorded 7 winning seasons, highlighted by the 1998 team that went 9–1 and won the 100th Beverly–Salem Thanksgiving Day game. He left Beverly High School after the 2000 season and later coached at Salem High School and Malden Catholic High School. He was inducted into the Beverly High School Hall of Fame in 2007 and the Massachusetts State Football Coaches Hall of Fame in 2010.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Margaret and Fritz, and his sister, Frances. He is survived by his brother John Rosinski and his sister-in-law Elaine; his nieces, Jennifer Rosinski and Kate Shea; his nephews, Christopher Rosinski and Patrick Shea; and his longtime partner, Judy Nicholson.
