Mr. Rogers was born in Newburg, West Virginia on April 12, 1941. He resided in Leominster for 32 years. He served in the US Navy with great pride during the time of the Bay of Pigs Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. He graduated from Wayne State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering and pursued a 30-year career with Simonds Saw and Steel living in numerous locations including Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and finally in Massachusetts ultimately retiring as the Vice President of International Sales which allowed his career to take him to countries throughout the world including Australia and South America.

Upon retirement he enjoyed travels to NYC to see Broadway Shows, Palm Desert for golf, Disney World in Florida with his grandchildren, and Paris, France with friends and family for the millennium. Recently he spent many Sundays with friends watching the Patriots. However, some of his most enjoyable experiences were playing hide and seek or tossing the ball with his granddaughters, family dinners with his wife, two sons, daughter in-law, and grandchildren, going to his granddaughters T-ball, softball, and volleyball games, in addition to attending various school programs and other activities.

My condolences to Harrys family, Im sorry for your loss. Harry and I became friends while working at Simonds in the 1970s & 1980s. He was in the metal cutting div and I was in the wood cutting div. We met often and had many laughs at our sales/marketing meetings and trade shows. The photo is one of these meetings during 1977 in Shreveport, LA. Ive pointed us out in the photo. We were young in our glory days.
