He graduated from Marion High School in 1964 and attended Indiana University, Kokomo. He married Jamie Ryan in 1968. They had 2 children, a daughter Amie, born in 1972 and a son, Ryan, born in 1973.

Roger suffered an injury in 2002 which resulted in paralysis. He spent the last 18 years of his life in a wheelchair but he did not let that slow him down. He was an avid fisherman all of his life. Before his accident took his ability to walk he spent many days on the golf course. After his injury he continued to fish and enjoyed collecting and selling knives at knife shows around the state of Florida. He loved to read and was very knowledgeable in many subjects, especially the Civil War, American history and past Presidents of the United States; he knew each year they were elected and the Vice Presidents. He will be remembered lovingly for his famous fish frys and his happy birthday calls, where he would sing the recipient the extended version of Happy Birthday to You. He had a generous heart and would help anyone who was in need.
