I am very sorry to hear of Roger's death! Roger replaced me as my Grandfather's (Bright H. Bailey) helper on my Grandparent's ('Bill' or 'BH' and Mariam ) farm on East Lee Street Road in Albion. I loved working on the farm for several years after school in Florida but was finally convinced to go back to work in electronics (to quit 'wasting' my education in electronics). Rodger came in 1962 to work on the farm and to continue his schooling in Albion. I really enjoyed working with Roger on the weekends and holidays from General Dynamics / Electronics in Rochester!!! He was a very humble and hard-working young man! I am sure his family really misses him.
