Roger was a kind man with an equally strong handshake. Glad to have known him. See you on the other side.

I had a lot of good times with Roger both working with him at SPPD and on fishing trips with him. One time we were fishing the middle of Mille Lacs in the middle of the night when a huge storm hit. I was sitting on the floor of the boat in about 10 inches of water while Roger was running the motor. I didn,t think we were going to make it off the lake that night but Roger got us in, and,, we still had our walleyes ..
