Married in 1963 to wife Nancy, the couple never met a stranger and were always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Rodger along with Nancy played a role in raising many children and would brag about them all to any random passerby when given the chance. In his younger years, Rodger enjoyed working with his hands, biking, attending races with his friends, and listening to live music.
