His favorite sports and activities were golf (in 1978, his foursome won the Joe Paterno Open tournament), tennis, canoeing, hunting, and attending Penn State football games (he and wife Nicki had season tickets for over 50 years). His children and grandchildren especially remember hiking with Roger in Sedona, AZ. He was a member of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Sharon, PA for over 20 years, where he served as a deacon and elder. He was generous to his church and to missionaries advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ around the world. His children learned from him a strong work ethic, as Roger worked hard and provided for his family and the education of his children and grandchildren.
