Roger P. Belanger, died Tuesday, July 4th, 2023, at his home in Wollaston, Massachusetts. At a young age Roger immigrated from Canada to Brookline Village, Massachusetts. He did not speak a word of English but that didn’t stop him. He knew to succeed he would need to learn the English language which he picked up with ease, which later helped him  to become a US citizen.  Roger’s tenacity and hard work over those early years helped to get him hired as a truck driver for the Texaco White Fuel Company.  He took great pride in becoming a member of the New England Teamsters Union for many years, until his retirement. He  had a passion for alway’s learning and trying new things. Playing hockey, skating and riding his bike were some of his favorite things to do over his lifetime. He also loved watching hockey games and boxing. Roger had a unique personality that could light up a room, he enjoyed telling jokes and was a brilliant storyteller. Let’s just say, there was never a dull moment in his company.

He was someone who could always be counted on by his family and friends. His sense of humor and strength of character will always be remembered and greatly missed.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to greet the family during the visiting hours on Sunday July 16 from 1-3pm  in the Keohane Funeral Home, 785 Hancock St., QUINCY followed by a Celebration of Life  Funeral service will  Sunday at 3pm.
