Roger L. Block

March 19, 1939 - May 24, 2024

Roger Lee Block, age 85, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 24th, 2024, in the comfort of the home he constructed 56 years ago, surrounded by the love of his family. Roger was born on March 19th, 1939, in Watertown, WI to Arthur and Marcella (nee Buntrock) Block. Roger was a graduate of Watertown High School with the class of 1957. He was the first Watertown athlete in history to become a four-time track and field letter winner. Committed to service to his country, Roger enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1958 and was stationed at Camp Pendleton and Camp Matthews before being honorably discharged in 1961. Roger received Wisconsin State Senate recognition this past August in conjunction with the Watertown Marine Corps League for his continued service to the beautification of Aero Park. Roger continued his education at the University of Stevens Point for two years before co-owning and operating Black Top Service for twenty-two years. Roger then became a glazier for Charles David’s and Sons, where his employment kept him from retiring until his late sixties. Roger married the love of his life, Phyllis Hertel, on June 20th, 1964, at St. Bernard’s Catholic Church. Through sixty years of marriage, Roger and Phyllis raised three children, Daniel, Charles, and Amy. Roger was a podium finisher at the highest levels of competition, medaling in marathons, world-class canoe racing and multiple top finishes in The Birkebeiner. Roger started playing hockey as a child and continued playing competitively into his seventies. His passion for competition and athletics was passed down to his children and grandchildren where Roger was a faithful supporter. Roger was bound by nature and could, most days, be found on a tractor, behind a chainsaw, and over a shovel in his garden. His expert marksmanship in the Marine Corps carried over to the woods where hunting led to annual success. Roger is survived by his wife Phyllis, sons Daniel L. (Rhonda) Block of Columbia Falls, Montana, Charles J. (Sherri) Block of Kingman, Arizona, and daughter, Amy (Elliott) Clark of Watertown, Wisconsin. Grandchildren Joshua Fischer, Alayna, Aden, and Eli Clark; Isaac and Samuel Block; step-granddaughters Emily and Sarah, and four step-great-grandchildren; sister Carol J.

U.S. Marine Corporal Roger Block was honored Saturday at the 18th Veteran Statue Dedication at Aero Park. “He’s my right hand man here at the park,” Bartelme-Schwefel Detachment No. 349 Marine Corps League Commander Gary Stueber said. “If I don’t catch something or if our members don’t catch something here at Aero Park, Roger Block will certainly find it and fix it before we know about it.” Block, 84, was born and raised in Watertown. He graduated from Watertown High School in 1957 and followed in the military footsteps of his two older brothers, Tom and Lee, by enlisting in the Marine Corps March of 1958. Block served until March 1961 and was honorably discharged. “People should appreciate this park,” Block said. “It costs the taxpayers nothing. It’s really something special to see the park being used by families and their children. It means a lot to me.” When asked about how he felt about his name being added to the veteran’s plaque at Aero Park, Block said it was honor. “It’s a privilege to be recognized,” he said. “I am truly thankful for it.” If the addition of Block’s name to veteran’s plaque wasn’t enough, State Sen. John Jagler (R-Watertown) presented Block with a special citation from the Wisconsin Senate. “Roger’s continued commitment to service and community is demonstrated through his membership to the Marine Corps League, as well as his weekly dedication to the beautification and maintenance of Aero Park; and Roger’s name will be added to the veteran’s statue located in Watertown’s Marine Corps League Aero Park in recognition of his dedication to the country and his lifelong community by maintaining the values of all who served,” the citation stated.
