Roger Bucholtz, of Waterford, passed away on March 21, 2025, at the age of 98.
Roger was born on Dec. 23, 1926, on the family farm in Waterford. He was a graduate of Waterford Union High School, and a veteran of the US Army, having served in Japan as part of the post-World War II reconstruction efforts from 1946 to 1948.
Roger married Barbara “Barb” Rebstock in May 1955, enjoying a marriage together of almost 70 years, entirely in Waterford. Roger worked as an engine laboratory technician at Waukesha Engine for over 40 years. In retirement, he enjoyed working as a groundskeeper at Rivermoor Country Club in Waterford for many years. Roger enjoyed gardening and sharing his produce with friends and neighbors. He was very mechanically inclined and enjoyed fixing and repairing just about anything.
Roger is survived by his wife Barb of Waterford; son Larry (Sherry) of Waukesha; and grandsons Jon (partner Lauren Baier) of New York City, and Alex (fiancée Pinky Leung) of Hong Kong.
He was preceded in death by his parents George and Anna Bucholtz; son Jeffrey; brothers Paul and Maurice Bucholtz; sisters Lulu Karweik and Evylyn Grote; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Per Roger’s request, no formal services will be held. Memorials to Norway Lutheran Church or a charity of your choice are appreciated.
