He was a graduate of the Milwaukee School of Engineering in 1947 and became a prominent engineer in the heating and air conditioning field in North Eastern Wisconsin for over 40 years. Roger became an active member of the Knights of Columbus, fourth degree. He was one of the original members of the Star Dusters Club, dancing the night away with his honey, Marie. He enjoyed camping and traveling, taking his children on many memory filled trips. One of his favorite things was just being at Legend Lake relaxing, going for boat rides, walks and visiting with friends.
