Roger Williams

Ocala, FL – Roger was born on November 10, 1935 in Portland, ME to the late Clifford Williams and Christine (Farr) Williams.  He was one of eight children.  He passed away on December 9, 2021 after a gradual decline and very short illness. 

Roger met his wife Joanne (Roy) Williams in Hartford CT.  They were married for 56 years.  Roger and Joanne lived in CT for 30 years where Roger was the owner of a service station named R&R Citco in Enfield CT.  Roger was a member of the Moose Club, which was right behind his station. 

Roger started his working life at the young age of 5, digging for clams every morning to help support his family.  He moved out of his house at the age of 13 to make a living on his own.  As an adult Roger went to work for Dworin Chevrolet as a mechanic.  Roger was always considered a master mechanic.  He was the guy that other mechanics sent their clients to when they could not fix a problem with the car. 

Roger leaves his wife Joanne, one sibling Marilyn and three grandchildren Jennifer Vecharelli, Heather Yutzy and Jason Williams. 

Roger was a bit of a perfectionist, which is why he was so good at his occupation.  His home, yard, cars and station were always immaculate.  When Roger was selling a car, it was usually better than it was when he purchased it.  If you wanted a job done right, call Roger.  He loved teaching others what he knew. 

In his younger years Roger raced stock cars and loved car racing.  He also owned a motorcycle for many years and he would go on trips with his brothers into Canada. 

The family has chosen not to have a ceremony, but will celebrate his life privately.
