My wife and I express our deepest sympathy. Roger was my manager at Kenosha Hospital. He was generous and easy to work with. Many times, he helped me, as I tried to figure out how to repair medical equipment. We pray the Lord's peace for you and your family. Randy and Mary Rautmann

Roger was kind, spiritual, and compassionate. He was measured in his speech and actions and He loved his family unconditionally. Rest in Peace, Roger

Roger took a chance and hired me, after I moved back to Kenosha, I had no clue what I was doing and that this industry existed, it created opportunities I would never have imagined. I am glad I was able to repay that chance when I hired him 17 years later. You will be missed Roger, RIP my friend.
