Roger Trueman Wickers

Roger Trueman Wickers of Wolfeboro, N.H., died on July 1, 2015 at age 80. He grew up in Ridgewood, N.J., later moved to Mt. Lakes, N.J., and Boston, MA before retiring in Wolfeboro. He was a graduate of Cornell University, Columbia Law School and a member of the New York Bar. He spent his career as a mutual fund lawyer first with the Anchor Group of Funds in New Jersey and later with the Keystone Funds in Boston, where he was a pioneer in the development of the 12b-l "spread load" concept. Roger is survived by his wife Sally (Bickel) of Bernardsville, N.J. who married him on August 10, 1987 following a career with Fidelity Investments in Boston. He is also survived by three children from a previous marriage, Mark (University of Colorado), Lindy Williamson (University of Wisconsin) and Steve (Jacksonville University), as well as five grandchildren. Roger often said that upon his death, he would welcome prayers to His Lord Jesus Christ, but he wanted no funeral or memorial service. His remains will be cremated, eventually joined with Sally's, and together they will be scattered in San Francisco Bay, joining those of Roger's sister, Nancy Churchill. Friends will be welcomed at his home for a celebration of his life at a date later this summer. The Baker-Gagne Funeral Home and Cremation Service of Wolfeboro is assisting the family with the arrangements.
