Roger enjoyed western movies and singing Swing Low. He was often heard whistling as we walked around the house in his "bah humbug Grinch” shirt. He spent much of his time working on the farm, and taught others the importance of hard work. Roger was also a real life Santa Claus with the red suit, white beard, and all, for his 4 grandchildren Marty, Colleen, Michael and Chase during Christmas.
