Roger enjoyed travel, fishing, competing in enduro motor cycle racing, shooting competitive pool, time at the beach and most of all spending time and sharing laughs with his extended family – preferably with a large crowd and a Margarita in hand.
Roger was never lacking for an opinion. He had an inquisitive, analytical mind and a unique outlook on life.
Services were private. Local arrangements were handled by the Timothy P. Doyle Funeral Home in Poughkeepsie.
