Pastor Roger E. Navarre GREEN BAY - Pastor Roger E. Navarre, 76, passed away Aug. 19 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born in Sturgeon Bay on Sept. 24, 1941, the son of Cyril and Katherine (Acker) Navarre. He graduated in 1959 from Sturgeon Bay High School and entered the U.S. Navy a short time later.
