Roger was a cherished grandfather to Kayla (Grant) Reimer, Dana Burant, Nicholas (Amanda) O'Boyle, Meghan O'Boyle, Zachary Wiltzius, and Olivia Wiltzius; step-grandfather to Tyler Kulas and Walker Kulas and a great grandfather to Beckham Reimer and Brody Reimer.

Roger touched the lives of many through his generous spirit and loving nature. One of his greatest joys was lending a helping hand to family and friends through the many talents he possessed. There was very little he could not build, repair, or improve. Whether constructing a shed, wiring a home, building a rec room, or repairing a motor, Roger approached every project with skill, determination, and pride. He gave freely of his time and talents and never expected anything in return.

Roger also found great enjoyment in gardening, canning, making jerky, and deer hunting. Nothing brought him more happiness than gathering family around a large home-cooked meal, where great food and lively conversation kept everyone connected. Stories were shared, laughter was plentiful, and lasting memories were made. His warmth, generosity, selflessness, and ability to bring people together created memories that will be treasured for years to come. He will be deeply missed.

Throughout his career, Roger worked as a maintenance machinist, most notably at Babcock & Wilcox and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, where he remained until his retirement and was respected for his strong work ethic, dependability, mechanical expertise, and dedication to doing every job well.
