Walter E. Rogers, 89, of N. Dartmouth, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 6, 2016 surrounded by his family. He was the husband of the late Alice M. (DeMoranville) Rogers.
Walter was born in New Bedford, son of the late John D. and Maude M. (Mosher) Rogers. He was a veteran of WWII serving his country in the U.S. Army. He was a Teamster for over 45 years.
