Key.  He is also predeceased by two brother-in-laws, Mark Haygood and Steve Wright and a nephew, Austin Fields. Roger volunteered with a number of service organizations, but the one that meant the most was over 10 years of service to the Boy Scouts. In 2013, after a 40 year career, Roger retired from Rappahannock Electric Cooperative. He was a choir member and a past Senior Warden of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Port Royal, VA.   Roger spent most of his retired years in Little River, SC enjoying golf, the water life and made many wonderful friends there.  Roger’s favorite pastimes were his interest in cars and music.   It has been heard so many times that he never met a stranger.
