Roger was a man of many words who never met a stranger. He was kind and generous and would unselfishly give his last dollar to someone in need. He was the kind of man that always put others before himself. Roger enjoyed fishing, hunting, and anything that involved being outdoors. Roger’s wife, children, and grandchildren were his greatest blessings, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Roger was a member of the Bethel Community Church in Summersville, Missouri, and loved his church family dearly.
