Roger Allen Stayton

Roger Allen Stayton, “Dickie”, was born April 13, 1942 in Cincinnati, Ohio and was raised in Kentucky where he met his wife of 60 years, Judy Montgomery. There, they began to live their life together having 7 children and 16 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. Roger lived a successful life in sales, traveling and enjoying the people he met and the tales he told. He never met a stranger and if he didn’t joke with ya he didn’t like ya. When he shook your hand, you felt his heart of gold. Here, in Tallahassee Florida, is where he and Judy planted roots and where he entered into rest on May 5, 2020.
