In 2008, when Argy came into Roger’s and Iliana’s lives their family was complete. Roger and Argy shared an amazing love story. Roger was extremely proud of his daughter and all her accomplishments. He loved nothing more than taking care of and making Iliana smile. He raised to her be just like him, tough, but sweet. he also loved his dog Buckie very much and loved taking care of him

Roger loved his family and friends. He loved spending time with them all barbecuing, fishing, traveling, going to the shooting range and just having a good time.
