Roger joined the Marine Corps at just 18 years old, dedicating himself wholeheartedly to serving the country he loved. His commitment and patriotism remained a constant source of pride. Roger was a sports fan; in his younger years he loved to play and watch sports. In his "mature" years he still loved watching sports, and could be found in his chair watching his teams (depending on the season) or a good Western. Roger enjoyed the outdoors boating, camping and fishing. Roger was a joker and had a quirky sense of humor. He enjoyed laughter and especially laughing with Marilou. Roger leaves behind his wife Marilou of 27 years; and his "girls", daughters Shannon Alder (spouse Phil), and Heather Hooglander (spouse Frankwin). Grandchildren Kaitlin Irvin, Shane Alder, Emily Porter, Zach Alder, Hannah Sciola, Mya Sciola, and Josilyn Walshon; and great-grandchildren Henry and Harper Irvin and Leo Gherls-Sciola. The family wishes to acknowledge Michael Ford as a longtime partner in crime and true friend. Mike's visits these last several years were highlights of Rogers week.

I am very sorry to hear about Roger's passing. We went to school together in Brigantine, graduated 8th grade together in 1962. I ran into him years later when he was at the Taj and caught up. You should be proud, he was a patriot and an outstanding man, God Bless Him. My family's thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of mourning. Sincerely, Mike Erskine
