Roger lived a life dedicated to service, both in his personal and professional endeavors.

Beyond his professional achievements, Roger will be remembered for his unwavering kindness, his quick wit, his passion for camping in northern Wisconsin, taking trips around the country on his motorcycle, golfing, attending his grandkids sporting events, and visiting his brother in Florida.

A memorial service to celebrate Roger's life will be held on June 15th, 2024 at the Moose Lodge in Zion, Illinois from 11 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made towards a memorial bench to be placed at the local golf course where he was a league member.
