Born in 1946 and brought up in Cupar, Fife, I was educated at the local school - 
“Roger Goodyear was a stalwart of the community, who was passionate about the local area and showing off all that was great in Banffshire and beyond.
“I was terribly sorry to hear of his passing and I would like to express my deepest condolences to his wife, June, family and friends. I recently nominated Roger to succeed Claire Russell when she retired as Lord Lieutenant of Banffshire. It was a testament to how capable Roger was.
“I thoroughly enjoyed working alongside Roger, who was never afraid to keep me in check. His passing will be a great loss to the community.”

Banff & District councillor Glen Reynolds added:
"Roger leaves behind him a legacy rich in community initiatives and support.
“The boat festival is of course, an enduring testament to his connection with Portsoy and its people. Community participation was core to what made Roger tick and little happened without his input, lovingly offered and greatly appreciated. To state that he and his voluntary work will be missed fails to do justice to the enormity of all he poured himself into for the benefit of others."
