I'm sorry for your loss and would like to offer my condolences to the family. I worked with Roger at Amway a few years back, we were both electricians. Roger was always so helpful and a funny guy to be around.
One of the memories I have that makes me smile and even laugh out loud at times is the imprompto "road race" Roger and I had on numerous occasions on our way home after work.
You see we both lived south of Grand Rapids and would battle back and forth through the highway traffic and the s-curve to see who would make it to the 36th street exit first. I can still see him smiling and giving me the fist pump as he cruised pass me to win the day's race.......

I am saddened to hear of Roger's passing. Roger was a part of our Pennfield Class of 1980, and I remember him as funny, always with a twinkle of mischief in his eye.
