He was a very fun, loving and humble man, who in his free time enjoyed things like fishing, listening to Hawaiian and Country music, but most favorite thing was watching his grandchildren at their games.
Here are a few of Roger’s favorite quotes: “A friend is a friend, but a true friend is someone who will always be there for you”. “You gotta make your own first step, the quickest first step you ever made in your life”. “Always remember what I tell you.
One day you’ll be able to pass it on to someone else”.
