Roger's personality and unique sense of humor will be missed by all. Roger made friends easily and kept them for life. Many of his friends go back to his early childhood days while growing up in Concord, CA. Shoutout to Elmhurst Lane.

 

After retiring in 2016, he left his beloved California behind and moved to Long Beach, WA to join his mother. Roger soon became his mother's primary caregiver, but not before they took several wonderful vacations and cruises together. Roger spent nearly every summer visiting family in both the Portland, OR and Ocean Park, WA area located on the Long Beach Peninsula. He cherished those childhood memories and enjoyed coming back to "the beach" to live with his beloved mother.

 

There will be no memorial service.
