Roger Dale Rotenberry, 73, passed away at Lancaster General Hospital on Thursday, July 28, 2022. He shared almost 54 years of marriage with his wife Judy (Lane) Rotenberry.

Born in Welch, WV, Roger was the son of the late Ray Elmer "Buck" and Oma Evelyn (Peak) Rotenberry. He graduated from Herndon High School in Herndon, WV.

Roger worked for Trojan Yacht in Lancaster for 24½ years, building some of the nicest yachts. He then worked for Camino Real Foods for 4½ years, and lastly for Kunzler & Company, Inc. for 5 years.

He loved to tend to his vegetable garden, work in the yard, and wrench on cars. Often times the family garden work was interrupted with a playful tossing of rotten vegetables and fruits at each other. Roger enjoyed family vacations to West Virginia and New York. He enjoyed card games and was a master at winning croquet, horseshoes, and softball. Roger always had time to help others, he was known as a jokester, he enjoyed eating, and he loved his puppies.
