Roger J. Charpentier, Jr., 68
Brookfield - Roger J. Charpentier, Jr., 68, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, August 23, 2015.
Roger grew up in North Brookfield, son of Roger J. and Margaret (Fuller) Charpentier, Sr. and graduated from Worcester Boys Trade High School and lived in Brookfield all his life.
He was many things to many people, Husband, Son, Father, Grampy and EE. He was a friend, plumber and to all, he was an inspiration. He was never too busy to help anyone in need, always thinking of others before himself. Everyone who knew him was blessed to have him touch their lives.
He enjoyed working on cars, skiing, hiking, biking, woodworking and even mowing his field, but most of all his family and friends. He was a self-employed plumber, who could have retired but loved plumbing so much he said he would never retire.
He was a veteran of the Vietnam War and served in the Naval Construction Battalion known as MCB58, glad to be constructing and not destructing. Proud of his service to his country, he still remained friends with men he met while serving in the Navy and going to reunions. He was a member of the Massachusetts Plumbing Inspectors and volunteered his time for over 20 years helping those in need at Camp Sunshine and helping those less fortunate than himself. To Roger "Everyday is a good day, but some are better than others".
He leaves his wife of 43 years, Denise (Vaudreuil) Charpentier; two sons, Joseph R. and his wife Jenith of Worcester and Marc M. of Brookfield; a daughter, Marie Oprica and her husband George of Brookfield; the loves of his life his grandchildren, James, Vivienne, Anyssa, Mia, Miles and Simon; three brothers, Richard and his wife Kim, Robert and his wife Karen and Russell; three sisters, Maureen and her husband Gary Valler, Nancy and her husband Richard Nykiel and Joanne and her husband James Ford; two brother-in-laws, Wilfred Vaudreuil and Leo Vaudreuil and his wife Toni; many nieces and nephews and the most amazing lady in the world, his mother Margaret (Fuller) Charpentier.
