Mabie died suddenly of heart disease at 6:30 o'clock Thursday evening.
Captain Mabie, one of the oldest as well as one of the best known men on this section of the Hudson river, had gone about his duties on the Gardner as usual during the day and, so far as is known, had not complained of feeling ill until after the boat had been wharfed and he was about to return home for the night

He was also captain of the "H. S. Romer" for some time and had been in command of the steamboat Gardner for the past ten years.
Despite his advanced age. Captain Mabie was one of the most active men along the river and had missed but few days from his employment through illness. He is survived by his wife and two sons, Henry and Wallace, both of Port Ewen, and both engaged aboard the "Gardner."
Captain Mabie was one of the best known men in the downtown section of the city, having a host of friends who will greatly miss his hearty handshake and cheery word of greeting.8

oObit4 August 2008  On 4 August 2008 at Kingston, Ulster County, New York, the obituary of Roger Wallace Mabie read: Roger Wallace Mabie of River Road, Port Ewen, a World War II veteran, former Esopus town supervisor and Ulster County legislator, and an authority on Hudson River steamboats, died Sunday at Kingston Hospital. He was 90.
Mabie led a life of public service, starting with his election as town supervisor in 1957. He served as supervisor for a total of 16 years over a period spanning more than three decades, retiring from the post in 1993. A Democrat, he was the last minority leader of the former Ulster County Board of Supervisors and the first minority leader of its successor, the Ulster County Legislature.
"Roger Mabie was an institution in this town," said Diane McCord, the Esopus town clerk. She said Mabie, who helped write the town's history in 1979, was a wealth of information, a "great resource" and a true gentleman.
Marilyn Coffey, a former town clerk and supervisor, said the town was in dire political straits when Mabie ran for supervisor the first time. She said he pulled the town together.
"He was an excellent, excellent, hard-working man," Coffey said. She said Mabie, who served as supervisor from 1958 to 1967 and again from 1988 to 1993, was personable and well-liked, and did wonders for the town.
Mabie did "many kindnesses that had nothing to do with his job," Coffey added, noting that he helped raise money to rebuild the United Methodist Church in Port Ewen after a devastating fire. He and his wife also helped raise his two nephews, she said.
John Coutant, the current town supervisor who served as a town councilman during Mabie's administration, said Mabie was "quite an individual."
Coutant recalled one of Mabie's favorite sayings: "Let's run it up the flagpole and see who salutes it." He said Mabie was creative and resourceful, and always made sure residents and taxpayers came first. "He'll be greatly missed," Coutant said.
"Roger was a true gentleman and he was always looking out for the best interest of the community at large," former Supervisor Raymond Rice said. Rice said he could not say enough good things about Mabie, whom he credits with his own involvement in local politics.
The Port Ewen Water Treatment Plant was named in Mabie's honor in 1992.
A lifelong resident of Port Ewen, Mabie graduated from Kingston High School in 1933 at age 16, and continued post-graduate studies there in preparation for college. At the same time, he managed the school football team and worked for the Freeman as a high school sports reporter.

He attended Syracuse University, where he served as president of his senior class and managed the football and crew teams. During his summers, he served as a crew member on the Hudson River Day Line. He graduated from Syracuse in 1940.
Though he was accepted into the Harvard School of Business in 1940, he chose to enter the Naval Officer Training Program in the fall of 1941, just prior to the start of World War II.

He saw action both in the Atlantic and Pacific, rising to the rank of lieutenant commander.
After the war, he reapplied to Harvard Business School and graduated in 1949. He returned to Port Ewen, where he went to work for the Island Dock Ship Yard as general manager. There, as the shipbuilding industry changed, he developed a business plan to build fiberglass pleasure boats.
