Sexton married his wife Diane Rodrick in 1968, according to the obituary. The couple of 54 years share daughters Amy and Heather, who died at age 16 in 1992 from viral pneumonia.
“However, the love Roger felt for Heather carried over to the love he felt for his grandchildren, Drew and Hadley, keeping her memory alive through them and becoming their endearing Be Pa,” the obituary shared. “Therefore, it is with love that we say goodbye, or as Be Pa would often say, ‘see you later, alligator, in a while, crocodile, don’t let the moles slow you down.'”
Sexton is survived by his wife, daughter, grandchildren, sisters Pamela Mills and Patricia Markowitz and “numerous friends, cousins, nieces and nephews.”
