Roger had many friends and some of his memorable times were spent smelting with Tommy, having a few beers with Bruce, Tommy, and his other Pastime and Legion buddies. He was an avid Boston Red Sox fan. He enjoyed his Friday night card games with Ellie, Sheila and Larry. Most of all, Roger enjoyed spending time with his family, especially with his only grandson, Ryan because they shared many interests, particularly firefighting and sports.
