Roger Allen Condon

Roger Allen Condon, 74, of Broadway, North Attleboro, died unexpectedly on Thursday, April 10, 2008 at Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro. He was the beloved husband of Elaine L. (LaCasse) Condon to whom he was married in January 1957. Born in Newport, Maine on May 24, 1933, he was a son of the late William and Helen (Libby) Condon. He was raised and educated in Maine. He moved to North Attleboro following his marriage 51 years ago. Mr. Condon was a veteran of the United States Navy having served during the Korean War era. He always remained proud of his military service. As a professional truck driver for many years, he was a member of the Teamster?s Union Local #25 for more than 30 years. Mr. Condon was a communicant of Sacred Heart Church, North Attleboro. A man who will be lovingly remembered as a person who would do anything to help anyone, he was a man of a strong work ethic that he passed on to other generations of his family. His hobbies included socializing with family and friends, fixing cars and had a lifelong love for airplanes and enjoyed attending air shows. When working and playing in trees, he was affectionately referred to as a ?tree monkey? by his family and friends since he was able to swing from branch to branch with more ease and grace than an actual monkey. In addition to his loving wife of 51 years, he leaves three children: Jeffrey A. Condon of Lincoln, Rhode Island; Jody Lambert of North Attleboro and Jay Condon of Danielson, Connecticut; nine grandchildren: Bryan and Brittany Condon of Lincoln, Rhode Island; Nicole, Matthew, Michael and Kasey Lambert all of North Attleboro; Kayla Condon of North Attleboro and Derek and Jarred Castro both of Providence, Rhode Island; two brothers: Herb Condon in Arizona and Harold Condon in Maine and several nieces and nephews.
