Roger L. Peters

Roger L. Peters, 87, of Oak Harbor, OH passed away Monday, February 28, 2022 at Magruder Hospital, Port Clinton, OH.  He was born on July 19, 1934 in Oak Harbor, OH to George L. and Martha M. (Fick) Peters.  Roger worked as a farmer for most of his life and fed beef cattle.  He sold beef for home freezers and he also worked for Celotex for 10 years in the maintenance department.  Farming though was near and dear to his heart.  Roger was proud of his invention of a soybean seed counter and the worldwide distribution of his counter, which he had patented.  He and his son, Dan, formed Accu-Bean-Chek, which eventually lead to establishing a bean and wheat cleaning facility on Toussaint East Road in Carroll Township.  Roger was also a member of the Ohio Seed Improvement Association.   Roger was a very faithful member of LaPointe United Methodist Church and served as a trustee for several years and also sang in the church choir.  He loved his church, which was like another family to him.  He enjoyed making his famous cherry cheesecake, which people enjoyed.  He also loved his dogs, Zoe, Missy, and Zina.  Roger had a good sense of humor, which will be missed.

Roger is survived by his son, Dan Peters; 4 grandchildren, Jennifer Peters, Cynthia Peters, Christina Peters, and Joshua Peters; 4 great grandchildren, Adam Kurtz Frederick Peters, Richard Peters, and Christopher Kurtz; and his caregiver & ex-wife, Carol Martin. He was preceded in death by his parents; son, David Peters; sister, Nancy Blair; special companion, Hazel Britt; and his former prankster/best friend and partner-in-crime, John Cover.
