His parents helped purchase Foley's Chevron in Boulder City, near Fort Lucinda. An avid pilot, Roger joined the Boulder City aeronautics council and was instrumental in securing landing lights at the end of the old BC runways. Roger was an outdoors man who enjoyed motor-cycling, hunting and tennis. He won several trophies for slalom, high speed and endurance water skiing. Roger enjoyed league bowling at Boulder Bowl and he was a prominent member of the Lions Club. In retirement he went back to school and got his real-estate license.
