Obituary for Roger Joseph Landry
Roger Joseph Landry, 74, died in Nashua on Monday April 12, 2021. He was born on December 30, 1946 in Rochester, NH son of the late Armand Landry and Francis (Harton) Landry. He was the loving husband of the late Sandra (Meier) Landry for over 40 years. They were married in Nashua on January 28, 1971.
Roger grew up in Rochester and attended Holy Rosary High School where he received his diploma. After graduating high school Roger enlisted in the US Navy. He worked as a field engineer for 30 years in control data / electronics most of his career. He primarily worked with computers long before they ever became personal computers/privatized. Some of the companies he worked for include Bell Atlantic, Sun Systems, Warren Powers Systems, and Decision 1. He later retired at Walmart.
Roger was an outdoorsman. He loved to go trout fishing, camping with his family, and hunting in his younger years. He was a “master of all trades”. Due to his career as a field engineer, he was great at improvising and fixing things around the house; because of this he was called MacGuyver. He was very handy as well. He and his son built a deck onto the family house back in the early 1980’s which still stands today. Roger often enjoyed watching sunsets form his deck where he would quietly appreciate the day fade as it turned to night. In his spare time, he also enjoyed game night where him and Sandra would play scrabble, cards and other games with the neighborhood couples. Although Roger was quiet and reserved in nature, he always left people wondering what was going in his mind and what he knew.
Roger is predeceased by both parents, Armand and Francis, as well as his wife Sandra who passed away in 2013. He is also predeceased by his aunt Juliet and many other aunts and uncles.
Survivors include his children: Michelle Arseneault and her fiancé Gene Follansbee of Lempster, NH and Brian Landry of Nashua, NH. He is survived by his granddaughter Miranda Landry of Hudson. He leaves behind his siblings: Aline Goss and her husband Tom of New Durham, NH, Rita Mavel and her husband James of Tampa, FL, and Raymond and his wife Sally of Dover Foxcroft, ME. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews and numerous in-laws.
SERVICES: A service will be held privately for the family. A walk-through visitation will be held on Monday April 19, 2021 from 11am - 1pm at the Davis Funeral Home, 1 Lock St., Nashua, NH 03064.
