Roger spent his career as a programmer and systems analyst with Unisys, which fed his intellect and interest in technology. He also cultivated an interest in politics and government, and he was a gifted storyteller; he had an uncanny ability to detect the truth and detail of a story. Roger had a strong catholic faith and loved connecting with people. First and foremost, however, was his devotion to his family, and the love of his life, Rosalie“Roy”.  He lived all aspects of his life with dedication.
