Roger was dearly devoted to his church St. Olaf Lutheran Church In Cranfills Gap and St. John Lutheran Church in Hamilton. Roger found pleasure caring for critters that made their way to his back yard. He enjoyed being surrounded by his family and friends, traveling, a good Texas Rangers game, a hard day’s work, back porch sitting with a cigar and a nip of Jack Daniels, and most of all, taking Neet for a twirl on the kitchen dance floor. Everyone will miss Roger, especially his family. We loved him dearly!
In lieu of flowers the family requests contributions to St. John Lutheran Church in Hamilton and/or The Rock Church in Cranfills Gap.
Arrangements were entrusted to Lawson Funeral Home, Meridian.
