Obituary

Roger Garcia Silva, 82, passed away in his home on Monday, February 24. Roger hailed from the Azores and maintained a strong connection by visiting for several months out of every year.

Although Roger’s physical presence may no longer grace our lives, his spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us. May his memory be a blessing, and may we carry forth his legacy in all that we do.

Roger’s journey on this earth was filled with numerous successes as a businessman and entrepreneur, as well as a deep love for his family and the ocean.  His passing has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by him. 
We ask that you remember him not for the way his life ended, but for the way it was lived, and for the profound impact it had on the lives of those who had the joy of knowing him.

My Way
Frank Sinatra

And now the end is near 
And so I face the final curtain 
My friend, I'll say it clear 
I'll state my case of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full 
I travelled each and every highway 
And more, much more than this 
I did it my way

Regrets I've had a few 
But then again, too few to mention 
I did what I had to do 
And saw it through without exemption

I planned each chartered course 
Each careful step along the by-way 
And more, much more than this 
I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew 
When I bit off more than I could chew 
But through it all when there was doubt 
I ate it up and spit it out 
I faced it all and I stood tall 
And did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed, and cried 
I've had my fill, my share of losing 
And now, as tears subside 
I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that 
And may I say, not in a shy way 
Oh no, oh no, not me 
I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got? 
If not himself, then he has naught 
To say the things he truly feels 
And not the words of one who kneels 
The record shows I took the blows 
And did it my way

Yes, it was my way

Content is coming soon...
