Roger L. St. Aubin, 78, Kaukauna, passed away March 15, 2007. He was born July 4, 1928, to the late Theodore and Julia (Gauthier) St.Aubin in Little Chute, where he was a resident most of his life. As a teenager, Roger was very active in the Boy Scouts where he and his brother, Bill were the first two Little Chute boys to earn the Eagle Scout award. As a young man, Roger continued his dedication to the Boy Scouts, serving both as a Sea Scout Leader and Scout Master. Roger is remembered fondly by many former scouts for the wonderful canoe trips he led through the Canadian wilderness, and for his work at Gardner Dam, Boy Scout Camp.
Roger graduated from Kaukauna High School (Class of '46) where he was very active as the school photographer, taking many of the year book photos. Shortly after graduation, Roger enlisted in the US Navy where he served at the Naval Air Stations on Saipan and Guam during the draw down of World War II. Afterwards he attended photography school in New York and for a short time thereafter operated a photography studio in Oconto Falls. Roger began a carpentry apprenticeship in 1949, and joined his brothers in the family construction business in Little Chute until his retirement.
On Aug. 30, 1950, Roger and Rosemary were wed at St. Mary's Catholic Church, Kaukauna, and made their home in Little Chute; there they raised their family of five children. Throughout his life Roger had many hobbies and was passionate about nature, gardening, beekeeping, photography, hunting, fishing, woodworking, science, and greatly enjoyed spending time with his family at their cabin Up North.
