Roger Rueckert, of Newfane, VT passed away at age 75. Born in Germany and formerly residing in Westport, CT, Roger lived in Vermont for nearly 60 years. He was predeceased by his parents, Heinz and Anita, and is survived by his two brothers, Robert and Michael.

Those who had the privilege of knowing Roger knew he had a heart of gold and a fiercely independent spirit. A man of a thousand stories, Roger took his right to pursue happiness very seriously. He was a passionate fisherman, a loyal friend, the best Uncle, and a wonderful human. He will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered.

A celebration of Roger’s exceptional life will be held at a later date.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Fenton and Hennessey Funeral Home, 55 Westminster Street, Bellows Falls, VT.
