WORCESTER: Roger J. Goyette, 78, passed away January 9, 2018 at St. Vincent Hospital in Worcester following an illness.

He was predeceased by his brother James Goyette and brother-in-law Brad Fields. Roger was born September 25, 1939 in Worcester son of the late Rose (Kelly) and Alfred Goyette. He grew up in the Grafton Hill neighborhood in the city. Roger served on the USS Oriskany, during his time in the US Navy. The remainder of his working years was spent as a meat cutter at Iandoli’s and Shaws markets.

He adored spending time with his children, grandchildren, and great-granddaughter, and could be found many of nights listening to music with them.
