Roger Edward Lorando was born on 17 June 1934 in Crestview, Florida, the son of Edwin Everett Lorando and Mary Loucille Kilpatrick. A few months after he was born, he and his family moved to Keene, New Hampshire; over the next few years they lived at various locations in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, to include time spent in Webster, Massachusetts in 1936. It was while living in Webster that Roger was baptised at Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church in nearby Spencer, Massachusetts.
Roger's early years were very unsettled. Between the time he was born and the age of 12, he lived in 7 different locations. It wasn't until he and his mother moved to Hartford, Connecticut in 1946 that Roger stayed in any one spot for any length of time, living there for the next five years. However, even though he was not changing cities his life was still rather turbulent as he lived in three different apartments and attended four different schools during those five years. In 1951, Roger decided to join the U.S. Air Force; after his enlistment was complete, he returned to Hartford, Connecticut for two more years before deciding to enlist in the U.S. Navy.
Once in the U.S. Navy, Roger was assigned to the Naval Support Activity in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was while stationed there that he met his wife, Mary Lynn Falgout. They were married in September 1959. Soon thereafter, he and his wife were reassigned to the Norfolk Naval Base in Norfolk, Virginia. It was there that their three children were born. In September 1966, Roger separated from the U.S. Navy. He and his family moved to Lynchburg, Virginia, where he accepted work in nearby Appomattox as a Computer Programmer for the Appomattox Garment Company. After he and his wife divorced, Roger remained in Virginia, living in a number of cities until 1998. That year, as a result of experiencing declining health, he decided to move to Mandeville, Louisiana to be near two of his children. He lived there until his death in 2008.
