Roger Marvin Goff, of Riegelsville, PA passed away on Sunday, January 22nd, 2023 at the Hunterdon Medical Center in Raritan Township NJ. He was a resident of rural Riegelsville, PA where he resided with his wife Deborah (Case) Goff of 52 years. Prior to living in Riegelsville, they lived most of their married life in Flemington, NJ on the Case family poultry farm.

Born August 20th, 1943 in Tampa, FL, Roger was the son of the late Charlie and Doris (Graves) Goff. He grew up in a loving family with two sisters and three brothers on a rural homestead in Brandon, FL. His favorite hobby, as the stories go, was to get in lots of trouble.

He was wounded on June 19th, 1967 during the 3 days of The Rach Gia River Battle. He received a Purple Heart for wounds received in action. His time in the Army shaped the rest of his life.

Since discharge from the Military, he worked as an expert welder at a few companies, the most recent being the Kuhl Corporation in Flemington, NJ, until he retired in March 2006.

His interests were always his family, his barn, as well as many road trips and travels by train.
