Roger retired in 1999 from the Mead Paper Company where he had worked for 40 years, lastly, as a Process Control Engineer where he was well known for his troubleshooting skills. He was a member of U.P.I.U. Local 731 and the Ross County Navy Petty Officers Club.   Roger was a member of the first graduating class of Paint Valley High school in 1959 where he excelled on the basketball court.  After retirement he could be seen most weekends out with the love of his life Dixie hunting for antiques and "treasures".
