Roger was a talented carpenter whose skill and craftmanship were evident in everything he built, especially his dream camp and the Texas horseshoes games he created with great pride. He treasured his “garage days” and the lifelong friendships he shared, especially with his friends from Sturgeon Falls. Camp was his happiest place, where he found peace and joy with his cherished camp family. Roger’s kindness, generous heart and willingness to help others will be remembered by all who knew and loved him.
