Roger loved farming from an early age. He aspired to have a farm of his own and Carol shared in that dream, which they achieved together. Roger looked forward to Sunday brunch with his family and he delighted in being a Papa to his grandsons. Roger liked going on long rides and taking in the the scenery. He enjoyed western movies and muscle cars, and was always reading and learning new things. Turkey dinner was his favorite!
