Roger L.
Suckow
Passed away Tuesday, January 21st, 2020 at the age of 75. Loving husband of the late Martha, who he honorably cared for through her illness, lovingly and patiently for over 30 years. Beloved brother of Carolyn (Denny) Kutz and Bonnie (Jim) Guenther. Further survived by nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.
Roger was proud to have served in the U.S. Air Force. After returning he worked at Johnson Controls. He enjoyed being a pilot, skiing, sailing—even sailing from Milwaukee to the Bahamas. Roger was also a member of the South Shore Yacht Club. He enjoyed volunteering at the Milwaukee Sailing Center and the Wisconsin Humane Society. He also was an avid bicyclist, biking over 65,000 miles.
Roger’s wishes were to have no memorial service, “I would rather have each person, upon hearing of my death, reflect and remember my life in their own way.”

Attachment
I am so sorry to hear today of Roger’s passing. He was a wonderful man, an incredibly dedicated and enthusiastic volunteer and he will be missed. Roger spent COUNTLESS hours on the water teaching people how to sail. He loved giving rides to people with special needs every Friday when we had our “Adapted Sailing” days. He was a regular on our grounds, and there are MANY people who have been touched by his passion for sailing and his desire to share his love of sailing with others. Our hearts are with his family and loved ones.
