Roger Bain
Roger Bain
Roger was first wounded Jan. 13, 1945. While he recovered in a hospital in Liego, his unit continued to battle the enemy for two days. Casualties arrived, they informed him his entire company had been "wiped out." The platoon guide was the only one not to be wounded. While he was away the division had crossed the Rhine River and headed eastward into Germany. When he returned to his unit, he barely knew anyone. Roger would be wounded again but just dismissed it. He had memories of witnessing the survivors of the Holocaust, reuniting with his parents and how he met his wife, Grace.
Roger was an electrician and worked in the area. Roger and his wife, Grace, enjoyed a long and loving life together. They enjoyed hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, family and friends.
Roger is survived by his son Gary (Sue) living in Idaho, his daughter Christine and daughter-in-law Darlene. He leaves behind seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Roger was preceded in death by his wife Grace, his son Ray, his parents Raymond and Ethel Bain, his sister June (Jim) Landing and his son-in-law Mike.
There are plans for Roger and Grace to have a memorial service at the Veterans Cemetery, Boulder City, Nev.
