Roger
Martin, 86, passed away on May 26, 2026, in Boca Raton, Florida. He is survived
by his beloved children: Terry and her husband Paul, Michelle, Frank and his
wife Michele, and Tom and his wife Holly. He also leaves behind cherished
grandchildren Danielle and her husband Nate, Nicole and her husband Ben,
Michael, Nicholas, and Max, as well as his great-grandchildren, Remie, Noa,
Emma, and Addie. Roger is survived by his siblings, Doris, Norman, and Joel. He
was preceded in death by his forever wife, Carole; his dear brothers, Ronald
and Rosaire; and his sister, Dolores. We take comfort in knowing they are all
reunited in heaven.
Born on July 23, 1939, in Fort Kent, Maine, to his
loving parents, Antonio and Leone Martin, Roger was a very active child who was
raised alongside his family on a potato farm. He often recalled staring up at
the sky, admiring airplanes passing overhead. Those moments sparked dreams of a
different life.
He attended Notre Dame de la Sagesse in St.
Agatha, followed by Assumption Prep in Worcester, Massachusetts, and later
earned his bachelor's degree from Saint Vincent College in Latrobe,
Pennsylvania.
He married his longtime admirer, Carole Page, in
1962 at Saint Louis Church in Fort Kent, Maine. They moved to Chicago, where
Carole began teaching school and Roger pursued his master’s degree in political
science, but Vietnam altered his course. He ended up fulfilling his childhood
dream of becoming a pilot. He joined the Air Force and bravely served in
Vietnam from 1965 to 1969 aboard a C-141 transporting, cargo and wounded
soldiers. He later joined Delta Air Lines, where he eventually became a Captain
flying L-1011s and retired in 1999.
In 1969, Roger and Carole settled in South
Florida, where they built a warm and loving home to raise their children. In
addition to working as a pilot, Roger has had a lifelong career as a successful
commercial real estate broker, a profession he continued to pursue after
retiring from Delta. Summers were spent at their cherished family camp in Eagle
Lake, Maine, where Roger's children and grandchildren made lifelong memories
alongside extended family. Today, the camp remains with the family for future generations
to enjoy.
Roger was passionate about tennis - so passionate,
in fact, that he built a court in his backyard in Miami. It became the
epicenter of the Martin family, where countless nail-biting matches took place.
A fierce competitor, Roger taught his children the importance of giving their
best, sometimes accompanied by some passionate language. He moved to Boca Raton
in 1991. When his knees could no longer keep up with the demands of the court,
he turned his competitive spirit to biking. He rode 12 miles every day until
his doctor and children convinced him it had become too dangerous. Even then,
he somehow managed to sneak in a few more rides unbeknownst to all.
Roger's faith in Christ was the foundation of his
life. He was an active member of the Knights of Columbus and a devoted member
of Ascension Catholic Church in Boca Raton, Florida, where he also served as a
lector and Eucharistic minister. Roger's legacy of love, passion, and faith
will live on in the hearts of all those he touched.
