He served on the boards of American Bank and Trust, Red River Valley Sugar Beet Growers Association, was a committee member of ASCS and served as Treasurer for Trinity Lutheran Church. He enjoyed spending time with friends and relatives and was always gracious and generous with people stopping by and always extended a hand to those in need. He also liked golfing, walking, singing, cooking and spending time in Arizona and Hawaii. His singing voice was one in a million; his CDs will live on forever. In his later years, Roger's winter home in Arizona became his primary residence. He still spent time in Minnesota during the warm summer months and always considered Moorhead his home. Roger suffered a massive stroke at his home in Arizona in December, 2009, and steadily declined until his death on New Year's Day, 2010. |
