Roger Gould May 12, 1942 - November 23, 2025

Roger Gould, 83, of Williamstown, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully at home on November 23, 2025. Born in the Bronx, New York, Roger lived a life defined by his warmth, kindness, and deep love for his family and community.

Roger leaves behind his beloved wife of 47 years, Patricia Gould, whom he married on July 22,1978. He is survived by his son, Scott Charland and his wife Tracie, his daughter Nicky Zabetian and her husband Mahboud, and five adored grandchildren: Emma and Tessa Charland, and Zoe, Xander, and Aia Zabetian.

Roger and Pat both attended the University of Vermont, where they met and fell in love. Though life took them on separate paths after graduation, they reunited in 1977 and their love for each other became the foundation for a beautiful life together.

A skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Roger built a successful practice where he was known for his exceptional bedside manner. Even after a stroke in 2003 ended his medical career, he remained "Doc" to everyone in town, never losing his genuine interest in people's lives. Roger never failed to ask "How are you?" because he truly always wanted to know the answer.

Roger and Pat created a warm and welcoming home on Torrey Woods Road, affectionately known as "Camp Gould" by extended family and friends. The property, always shared with a loving menagerie of dogs, cats, and horses, was the backdrop for countless cherished memories—including their own backyard wedding and, twenty years later, hosting Nicky and Mahboud's wedding reception.

A talented cook, skilled handyman and avid gardener, Roger drove his tractor, mended fences and tended his gardens well into his later years. He had a passionate love for life, demonstrated by a fantastic sense of humor, a booming laugh and an absolutely insatiable sweet tooth. 

Most of all, Roger will be remembered for his gentle, caring soul and the boundless love he had for his wife, his children, and his grandchildren. His engaging warmth, kindness, and genuine love for others has left an indelible mark on all those lucky enough to have known him. 

He is gone, but he will never be forgotten.
