Roger attended CU for one year and was a member of Sigma Nu Fraternity. He graduated from Mesa Jr. College in 1953.
Roger met the love of his life, Wanda Franklin, right before he enlisted in US Army in 1954, where he served in communications in Germany until 1956.
Upon returning to Delta he joined his father in the farming industry. On November 9, 1957 he married Wanda Franklin and together they raised four daughters.
Roger was successful in every area of life. He raised cattle, sugar beets, and barley.

He received the "Coors Grower of the Year" award for two years. Roger was a lifetime member of the Elks.
Spending time with God, family, and friends was his greatest joy. He also enjoyed snowmobiling, golfing, and following sports of all kinds; he never missed the kids' or grandkids' games.
