Above all, Roger delighted in meeting new people and making lasting friendships wherever he went.
Roger is survived by his devoted wife, Noni; his three sons, Curtis, Mark and Christopher; two grandchildren; his sister; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
A celebration of Roger's life was held in July at Hayden Lake Country Club. He will be laid to rest at Forest Cemetery in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, this fall.
