Roger was a loyal friend, lover of life, wife and family. He contributed much to his company Brown-Forman while always keeping those around him entertained despite the long days or nights the job demanded at times. Rog was a fan of KISS, owned a Bayliner and didn't care what the shoes looked like he wore...so don't hold that against him. Roger knew who he was and knew what he wanted and believed as long as he had his wife and children that was all he needed. I will miss you "REGGIE" RIP and hold a spot for me at the bar up there please but don't make me listen to KISS!
