I first got to know Roger at "the gym" when I was rehabbing from one or another of my operations. We seemed frequently to be on the same schedule and often ran into each other on the exercise bikes. He was always friendly and encouraging and I enjoyed our sessions together.
Eventually he and wife Judy decided to downsize, sold their home (as it turns out to other friends of ours), and moved into a home just down the street from us. So I was able to get to know Judy, and to know Roger better, and my wife got to know them both. I got closer to Roger during my short tenure in Aiken's 50+ Club, where we often had lunch together and occasionally shared rides downtown. Roger and Judy could always be counted on to support and participate in the activities planned on our friendly street.
Roger was always friendly, pleasant, and easy to talk to. He will be missed by his friends, and our Holley Ridge neighborhood won't be the same without him.
