Following his retirement, he continued working as a truck driver for Roberts Asphalt in Edinburgh, retiring again in 1999 after 12 years of service. In addition to his careers, Roger faithfully cared for his family farm, raising cows and pigs.

Roger enjoyed fishing with his family, mushroom hunting, and tending to his large garden each year.

Above all, Roger will be remembered as a hardworking man who always provided for his family. He cherished time spent with his loved ones, especially his grandchildren.
