Glen Moody Roa

Glen Moody Roa, 82, died Friday, July 12, 2024, at Wake Robin Life Plan Community in Shelburne, Vermont, following a long battle with emphysema.

He is survived by his wife, Sharon (Pillsbury) Roa, and his brother Richard Lee Roa.

Glen was born in Mobile, Alabama on April 3, 1942. He is the son of William John Roa, Jr. and Una Lee (Godat) Roa.

Glen was a precocious youth, teaching himself about photography, both the taking of pictures, but also printing them in his make-shift dark room. He quickly learned a great deal about electronics and became a “ham” radio operator with the call sign “K0DKP.” He worked most of his life in the electronics industry.

Glen loved the outdoors and was an avid backpacker and mountain climber. He was a fierce advocate for the environment.

He is remembered by his younger brother Richard as a loving brother who considered him as the best mentor and teacher he ever had.
