Everyone who got the pleasure of meeting Roger would say his sense of humor and sarcasm is what made him so endearing. Every time Roger left the house, he made it his mission to meet someone new, he couldn’t go out to dinner without meeting someone he had some sort of connection to. He retired from Leonard’s Express Trucking after working for them for nearly 20 years. He met people from all over the country and maintained those relationships throughout his retirement. Throughout his life he had many passions including golfing, bowling, Harley Davidson motorcycles, and cooking.
