Roger was born on March 7, 1936 in Ellsworth, MA but spent most of his life on the west coast. First living in California and then moving to Idaho in 1972. Roger and his young family at one time lived in the old mill house in Hope prior to moving to Clark Fork. They later tended the Hawkins' family farm before finally settling in Kootenai, Idaho.
Roger and his then wife Kathy were some of the first employees at the Litehouse restaurant in Hope. Roger was soon driving the coveted salad dressing to other local restaurants and grocery stores throughout the area. As the Litehouse company grew, so did Roger's role as a long-haul truck driver. He loved being on the road as the company's #1 truck driver and reluctantly hung up his hat after 27 years with Litehouse.
Roger's pride though was in his three sons [survivors names omitted]. He loved having his family around him, especially for barbeques on the porch. If he wasn't on the porch enjoying the day, or talking at the neighborhood with his bullhorn, he was probably inside watching a John Wayne movie.
The family would like to express sincere thanks to all the folks at Life Care Center in Sandpoint who graciously cared for Roger in the past 2 years.
