     Roger’s greatest passions were hunting, fishing, the outdoors, and most importantly his family and grandchildren.  He worked most of his life in Sales where he made countless friends and delivered personalized service with a story or two to go along with it.  Roger’s greatest quality was to always put others before himself.  He will be missed beyond measure by all who knew and loved him.
