My condolences to All of Roger's loved ones. He and his wife were great friends of my family. His mind as sharp as a tack, and had quite a passion for equipment,implements, vehicles etc. he would always be there with my dad Harvey figuring out and fixing whatever went wrong on the equipment. You could always count on Roger to go into great detail while tinkering on something. Thanks for the memories gone but not forgotten RIP Roger
