Alvin was born September

C. and Bertha Yousey Roggie. He attended Lowville Academy and had polio and
had to leave school. After his
recovery, he worked on the family farm. On June 30, 1954, he married Alice M. Roes
at Dadville Mennonite Church with Rev. Lloyd
Boshart officiating. The couple
lived in Brattleboro, VT, while Alvin was in 1W Service at Brattleboro Retreat for four
years. Upon returning to the area,
they settled in Carthage, and later purchased a farm in Boonville. He later owned and operated Roggies Custom Spraying. In 1985, they moved to Lowville where the
couple owned and operated Country Motors on Route 26, until 2014, when they
retired.
Alvin was a member
of Carthage Mennonite Church, where he enjoyed being a Youth Leader.
He enjoyed visiting
with family and friends, singing and playing his harmonica. Alvin had a heart for people, especially youth,
and enjoyed helping many along the way.
