A graduate of Athens High School he was employed with Abex Corp. and retired from Athens Mold and Machine after 40 years of service. He was a U.S. Army veteran with the rank of Tech Sergeant. He was a lifetime member of AMVETS Post 76 and a member of K.T. Crossen Post 21 American Legion. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening and being in the outdoors.
Roger is survived by his daughter, Rebecca (Charles) Arnold of Nelsonville; his son, David (Vicki) Walls of Nelsonville; seven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; a sister, June (Richard) Coe of Athens; several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Besides his parents he is preceded in death by a sister, Virginia Griffin; four brothers, Virgil, Milard, Vernon and Melvin Walls.
