Roger’s passion in life was spending time with his wife and two children. In addition, he loved traveling, camping, carpentry and playing cards.
Roger and Marion were responsible for getting the game “Petanque” set up at the community of where they live. His biggest enjoyment was fishing with his buddy, Mort Quackenbush, his children or his grandson.
The place where he felt most at peace was on a lake of where he caught “Bubba, the Big One.”
