It is with heartfelt sympathy that we share the passing of Roger Charles Carroll, brother of the late Frank Carroll, a life member of Vernon Hill American Legion Post 435.

Roger Charles Carroll, 83, of Shrewsbury, MA, passed away on March 21, 2026, after a period of declining health. We extend our deepest condolences to the Carroll family during this difficult time, and especially to his brother George, who has traveled from Florida to make arrangements.

Funeral services with U.S. Air Force honors will be held on Thursday, March 26th at 2:00 PM at the Massachusetts Veterans Memorial Cemetery, 111 Glenallen Street, Winchendon, MA. Mercadante Funeral Home & Chapel is assisting the family with arrangements.

Any members wishing to stand in support and pay their respects are invited to join me at the service.

Let us come together as a Legion family to honor Roger’s life and service, and to support the Carroll family.

Bill Moore, M.A.
