He continued his education at Fall River High Shool where he graduated in 1962. He married his high school sweetheart, Bonnie Hollnagel on April 11, 1964 and they had four daughters.

Roger loved sports and always followed the Brewers, Badgers and Packers. He loved to bowl, golf, and play slow pitch ball and played into his 60's. He loved old cowboy movies ,western swing music, going to horse races and an occasional casino trip.
