Roger J. Beliveau, 72, died Sunday, April 1, peacefully surrounded by his family. He was born in Manchester, NH, son of the late Henri and Germaine (Lemire) Beliveau.

A graduate of Manchester High School West, Roger went on to serve 18 years in the Army National Guard and worked for the City of Manchester Traffic Department for 28 years.
Roger's greatest passion in life was spending time with his family and friends. He always enjoyed company and especially spending time with his 4 grandsons. His favorite hobby was fishing at the lake and made sure he helped each grandson catch their first bass. Roger loved the lake and taking people for boat rides. In downtime, you could always find him having a drink on the deck with friends and family. Roger always made everyone feel welcome and truly enjoyed making people laugh.
Later in life Roger enjoyed his retirement with his wife, Shirley, spending half the year in Florida where he enjoyed the beach, being part of their community and having family and friends visit.
Roger was proud of his military service with the Army. He was a member of the American Legion, Sweeney Post for 35 years and a lifetime member of the DAV.
