Roger was a very loving, devoted husband, father, grand-father, brother, son, uncle, nephew and friend. He loved his family very much and took care of them regardless of the sacrifices it required. He was an extremely generous person, always there to lend a helping hand to whoever needed one. Roger was a self-made man, and with his wife’s help started his own home remodeling company, Roger’s Home Repair. He taught himself how to work on everything – there wasn’t anything he couldn’t fix. He especially loved working in his shop, spending most of his days surrounded by his tools where you could always find him ready to lend a hand to whomever stopped by. There are countless memories of how Roger had a positive impact on those who were privileged enough to know him. He was always a straight shooter and didn’t beat around the bush, a quality many learned to cherish. Roger always said that his wife, Monica, gave him the most wonderful life he could have ever hoped for, and as long as his kids were happy, he was happy. He is VERY loved and will be deeply missed.
