Roger was born on August 14, 1936 in Mayville, the son of Chris and Louise (Schlaak) Huck. The family moved to Waupun when he was 14, and Roger graduated from Waupun High School. He entered into service with the U.S. Army National Guard. On June 21, 1997, Roger married Sandra Siegel Grauvogl in Horicon. Roger was a devoted husband, the best dad ever, and a proud grandfather and great-grandfather. From the time he was very young, Roger had an obsession for trucks. He loved to be behind the wheel, and was a lifelong trucker. He drove for many area business, most recently Smedema Trucking in Fox Lake. Roger was very active in Waupun’s annual Truck-N-Show, where he was on the Board of Directors and formerly Vice President. He looked forward to this weekend all year. His large collection of trucks was his pride and joy. Roger also enjoyed going for rides and traveling with his wife.

Roger is survived by Sandra, his treasured wife and soul mate of 15 years, seven children; Kevin Huck, Penny Huck and her fiancé Ron Rhode, Christopher Huck and his wife Lori, Carl Huck, Carrie and her husband Ralph Steger, Terri Grauvogl and her fiancé Christopher Hubbard, Thomas Grauvogl and his fiancé Nicole Kuhn, ten grandchildren, one great-grandchild, his sister Marilyn and her husband Dave Nygren, his brother Ed Huck and special friend Kathleen, nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and an infant son, Todd.
