Roger was a loved one, a friend, and someone special. To family and friends who knew him best, Roger will be remembered as a very exceptional person. Fortunately, Roger enjoyed what he did for a living. Showing a strong work ethic, Roger worked diligently and always found success in his career. He spent the majority of his life employed in the public sector, finishing his career with the State of Minnesota before retiring to the Rio Grande Valley in 2013. Roger will always be remembered as the local handyman in the communities he resided. Roger enjoyed his leisure time by taking part in various hobbies.
