Roger always took great pride in his family and looked forward to sharing his life with them. He was well known in the community and was appreciated by anyone he met. Roger will be remembered for his willingness to help a neighbor or stranger when needed. He will be dearly missed by his family, friends and anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
