Share your Memorial with Family & Friends

I remember Roger at the Cadillac gun & knife shows....The man had an amazing mind and he was always a pleasure to sit and converse with....He often talked about being a Packers fan, which is something besides an interest in guns that we had in common.... We fell out of contact years ago and I tried to locate him in Ludington, but was unable to do so....I will always cherish the memories of Roger and my thoughts go out to his friends and family....

Roger was a good friend and shipmate. We shared many liberty hours and working hours together. He was always good for a laugh or to help you out. If my hearing was better I could entertain the Thursday chat group with many sea stories of Ski and me . He will be missed by me and others . Mary you have my condolence's along with his other family members. Farewell my friend . Davy.

Worked with Rog for a good number of years at GLCC pattern shop. He was a good jokester and had a phrase for just about anything happening. A true Packer fan. A good friend. See ya Rog.
