Roger Maineri ’52, beloved husband, father and friend, died unexpectedly on July 11, 2010. He was 80 years old. Cherished son of Pete and Nina Maineri, Roger was a native San Franciscan, attending Sacred Heart High School and later engineering school at Santa Clara University. He built and sailed the boat Windrider in his 30s, and later developed a successful practice as a consulting acoustical engineer in which he was still active. An avid fan of opera, good food, wine, travel, history, and reading, Roger lived his life with humor, affection, a sense of adventure, and abundance. Married to Rosanne Brodeur, they raised their two ""scoogerooches"" until she passed in 1977. Roger was blessed to later meet up with his high school sweetheart and first true love Mary Rossen. They were married in 1996 in Italy and together traveled the continents and made many special family memories and lifelong friends. Roger leaves behind his wife Mary, his daughters Suzanne and Janet, his second family in Missouri and the many, many friends he made throughout his life.
