He graduated from Oshkosh High School Class of 1954 and served his country in the US Army from 1954 until 1956. Roger married the former Barbara Jean Brantmier on May 24, 1958 in Oshkosh. He could fix anything and after the Army he repaired cars and then worked for Scharpf’s Office Machines buying the office machine division in 1971 and he sold Meyer’s Office Machines in 1991. He and Barb then spent the next 16 years in teen foster care. Roger greatly enjoyed making numerous pieces of furniture in his workshop and completely finished the interior of their present home.
