Pam,
I’m so sorry to hear of Roger’s passing. He was a great friend and mentor to me. I still build a few fishing rods every year, just the way he taught me. I will forever remember him.

Roger got me into Rv camping and was always there to lend a hand. He was a mentor to me. He was one hell of a fisherman. He will be missed. I’ll drink a few beers on your behalf, to the good times we enjoyed together.
Our deepest condolences to you & your family Jess!! May God wrap his loving arms around you all & help you travel peacefully through your upcoming journey!! ((HUGS))

My first meeting with Roger was at Wagner’s Bowling Lanes where we were in the same league. I gave Roger access and parking down our driveway to Lake Hallie for ice fishing for a number of years. We shared fish stories, some of which were true.
I have Rodgers outline handprint in my high school yearbook. He was returning me the favor as I signed his yearbook the same way.
