Roger B. (1928-2003) A great void has been left in our lives with the passing of our beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, and friend, Roger B. Jarvis (Popsy), who left us on December 25, 2003. He was preceded in death by his parents, Glenn and Bertha Jarvis. His distinguished military career included service in the United States Marine Corps during World War II and service in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict. After his retirement from the military, he worked as a computer analyst in the Information Systems and Technology Division of General Dynamics in San Diego, California. Several years later, while still employed at General Dynamics, he met his loving wife, Connie, whom he lovingly referred to as "Mi Cielo". After retiring from public employment, he bought an RV and he and his wife set off to see the entire USA, plus a great many sights outside the country, as well. Although RV-ing soon became a passion, his greatest passion was singing with a barbershop chorus. He was a member of The Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America (SPEBSQSA) and sang with the San Diego Sun Harbor Chorus in San Diego and with the New MexiChords in Albuquerque. He was also a member of the Scottish Rite in San Diego, California; and, the Masonic Temple Lodge #6 and Shrine Ballut Abyad Temple, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Besides his wife Connie, he is survived by his daughter, Becky and husband, Robert; his brother, Kenneth Jarvis; his stepchildren, Connie Martinez-Goodwin and husband, Robert, Agatha Martinez- Garrison, Louella Martinez-Gonzales, Tim Martinez, and Pamela Morton and husband, Richard; ten grandchildren; and ten great-grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, January 02, 2004 in the Palm Chapel at Strong-Thorne Mortuary, 1100 Coal S.E. The Reverend Dave Blackwell officiating.
