He was also a 50-year member of the Elks, and a member of the United Church of Christ, where he took part in the choir. Roger was fortunate to have been able to travel and do what he loved most, hunting and fishing. Some of his most notable trips were his elk hunting trips to Wyoming. He and Doretta enjoyed many cruises and trips throughout their 58 years of marriage. Roger enjoyed visiting with and meeting new people.
