I'm so sorry we missed the service....I haven't seen Rodger in many years but he was my oldest cousin....Rest in peace buddy...We'll all be joining you soon. We'll be better friends there than we ever were on this earth. God bless! John Knoche
I practically grew up in Roger and Denny’s house. My dad, Roger, Jeff and I used to get together to play games since I was about eight years old. Later Brent and Erin would also join us. These are amongst my fondest memories. We’d get together to play, and Roger would be his normal intense self. I have a lifetime of memories with Roger, but what stays with me is all the laughing and the good times. When you got together with Roger, he would be so gregarious and outgoing, but at the same time, he seemed to make everyone in the room feel as though they were the focus of his attention. He was a great man, and a better friend. I feel honored to have had him be such an important part of my life. I’ll always remember how much he cared for those around him, and his ability to spread joy with his natural charisma.
With Our warmest condolences, Courtney (Patterson) Ball and Family and Heather (Patterson) Wagner and Family
Rodgers was a fun loving gentle giant. His smile was infectious. I had the honor of being President and pledgemaster while Rodger joined AXE fraternity. It was hard not to love him. He had a heart of gold. Rest in peace brother, and we will never forget you. Peter Larioni, AXE
There are too many wonderful memories with you to count. We will miss you, Mr. Knoche. All of our love to the whole family.
Farewell, my dear friend. My many memories of you always seem to bring a smile to my face, and they always will. To Denise, Jeff, Erin and Dana, I share your loss. Rodger was truly one of a kind, and will be fondly remembered by so many.
We send you thoughts of comfort.
Until we meet again
Kay and I learned of Roger's passing from Dan Lease this evening. We were indeed saddened at the news. Roger was an inspirational co-worker at Wahl Refractories whose innovative ideas helped make each of us to grow and was a driving force behind the success of the company over the years. He was a joy to be around, as he had a true love of life.
One of the nicest guys I've ever known. A true friend and a great human being. He will be greatly missed
