Roger enjoyed spending time with his friends and family throughout his life. He had an unmatched magnetism that pulled people in and always had a joke ready to share. Many people considered Roger to be their best friend because of his charm and charisma.

Hunting season was one of Roger’s favorite times. He enjoyed making memories in the woods with his dad, Uncle Carl, Uncle Tony, Carl Jr., Camden and Carson. During baseball season, Roger loved traveling to Yankee Stadium and cheering loudly for his team. Roger’s favorite activity was watching his children achieve their goals and being their biggest fan. He was always proud to share stories of his best girl, Brooke, and her accomplishments. He watched Brennan walk across the stage to get his diploma and celebrated as a proud dad. He spent every Friday during football season cheering for Gavin and celebrating his passion for the sport. He was so proud of Carson’s new found love for welding and was there to give pointers to help him improve.

The best day of Roger’s life was the day Brooke was born. The second-best day of Roger’s life was the day he married the love of his life, Marissa.
