A longtime resident of the Pound and Coleman area, he worked for the Department of Natural Resources before his marriage, and then at Patz Corporation for over 40 years in various financial positions.

He was known for the endearing habit of always carrying wintergreen mints in his blazer pocket to share with all the children in church. He also listened to children recite Bible verses on Wednesday evenings.

Roger and his wife Eleanore enjoyed many October elk hunting trips in the Colorado Rockies with his in-laws Harold and La Verne (Patz) Grosse.
It was always Roger's dream to live in the country on a farm, so he and Eleanore made that dream a reality when they built a farmhouse and lived for over 40 years on County Q in Pound.
He and Eleanore recently moved to a charming house on Maple Lane in Coleman, as Eleanore loves maple trees.
