Rogelio came to the United States in 1983, where he worked in the produce fields in Salinas, CA. He made many friends whom he called his family. He later moved to Albuquerque in 1999, where he worked and retired from Wal-Mart. He loved fishing, gardening, playing cards, occasional trips to the casino, and is just a jack of all trades. He is loved by many, because of his smile, wonderful attitude, hard work ethics, generosity, and his love for all. He worked hard all of his life to support his family, including his family who are still in the Philippines. Rogelio, Roger, Totoy, Manong Roger, Tiyong Totoy, Kuya Roger and Papa is what his friends and loved ones called him.
