   Roger had a very strong work ethic. By trade, he was heavy machinery mechanic and equipment operator. He had many skills and talents, most notably, his ability to fix anything and everything. He picked up these trades, as well as welding, at a young age. He became a support system and wealth of knowledge for many throughout the years. Whether it was fixing a dump truck or rebuilding a transmission, there wasn’t a problem too big, or too small for his help. He also had great memories of hunting, fishing, and gigging with family and friends.
