Roger William Radomsky, Sr., 85, of Tucson, Arizona and formerly of Cheyenne, died on Friday, November 6, 2026 in Tucson.
He was born on July 11, 1941 in East Cleveland, Ohio.
Roger was the third of four children, born to Lloyd and Lulu (Glasser) Radomsky. He grew up and lived in East Cleveland, OH, until 1961 when he enlisted in the US Army. He met his beloved wife, Jane, while both were working at St. Luke’s Hospital. After they were married, he served as a medic in the Army until October 1964, at Ft. Bragg in North Carolina. They moved back to his family home in East Cleveland where they began their family with a son, Jon, in 1966, followed closely by another son, Scott, in 1967. Roger worked at a finance company in Cleveland for six years before being transferred to Dayton, OH, in 1970, where his third son, Roger Jr. was born. In 1971, Roger made the decision to attend mortuary college in Cincinnati. After graduating in 1972, he accepted a position as a funeral director and embalmer at Schrader’s Funeral Home in Cheyenne, WY. Their family was completed with the birth of their fourth child, Laura, in 1974. Later that year he ran for and was elected as Laramie County Coroner, serving the community faithfully for 16 years. In 1978, he began working at Wiederspahn Chapel of the Chimes, eventually purchasing the company from its founder in 1987. In 1981, Roger and Jane opened the Ice Cream Corral in Frontier Mall and operated it until selling the business in 1984. Roger made all the ice cream himself in the early hours before work began at the funeral home, returning to the store in the evening to help close shop.
Roger and Jane bought a cabin near Vedauwoo, enjoying their time out in nature. They were able to treasure this haven for many years before retiring to Tucson, AZ. Roger spent his later years enjoying multiple cruises and trips exploring the world with Jane. He was blessed with ten grandchildren and six great-grandchildren whom he adored.
Roger was a member of the Lion’s Club, the American Legion, the Moose Lodge, and the Masons. He attended First United Methodist Church. In his retirement years, he was a member of the Sundancers, a square dance club which both he and Jane enjoyed. He loved fishing, camping, bowling, trains, watching football, and all his beloved dogs.
He is survived by his wife Jane, whom he married on September 28, 1963; his children, Jon (Bridgette), Scott (Carrie), Roger, Jr. (Debbie), and Laura Kemp (Darren); his grandchildren, Jenna, Katy, Colter, Nikki, Ellie, Logan, Lainie, Nolan, Charlotte, and Emma; and his great grandchildren, Maisyn, Harper, Forrest, Carson, Blake, and Penelope.
Roger was preceded in death by his parents, Lloyd and Lulu Radomsky; and his siblings, Lois Faflick, Paul Radomsky, and Rose Pongonis.
