Rogozinski, Raymond (Ed)
died February 25, 2017
There was no official obituary for Rogo, but I talked
with Pam Hampton today, Rogo's companion for over 16
years.
"After selling the Great Laker Inn in Oswego, I moved to
Fl in 1980 and continued in the hospitality business
until 1985. I then entered into the health
care profession, enrolling
in the school of Natural Healing Arts in Sarasota,Fl.,
where I received certification as a Natural
Health Care Practitioner
in muscle therapy and was licensed by the state of Fl.
In 1991 I received my Dr. of Divinity degree from the American
Institute of Holistic Theology in
Youngstown, OH. In 1992 I opened my own health clinic
in advanced Holistic Services, specializing in skeletal
muscular pain, stress & fatigue. I retired in 2002. I
now am enjoying
life. Billy

"Live rich and die poor." I'm doing my
best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROGO"
Pam said that some of the facts were "stretched" a
little bit,
"Ray," as she and everyone but
his classmates called him, managed a restaurant,
worked security, smoked and played golf. This is an
article from "Oswego County Today" in 2010.
"Ray Rogozinski registered his third hole in one earlier
this month — that was something special. But then he did
it again, a week later. And the Bradenton resident
didn’t just record his third and fourth career holes in
one. He did it at the same course on the same hole.
Rogozinski said he played football and basketball in
Fulton. He moved to Sarasota, Florida and learned
to play golf while running a golf-themed restaurant
there."
Rogo has two surviving sisters, Mary of Syracuse and
Joyce of Oswego.
Rogo said he wanted to die with a cigarette in his
mouth, and so he did, dying February 25, 2017 after a
long battle with throat cancer.
