With apologies to anyone who may be easily offended.
One of the first times I was at Evergreen Campground when I was dating Nancy, Roger asked me, "Do you want to see my Polish trailer?" I may have had a beer or two so I said sure. Roger said follow me and then proceeded to lead me around the campsite while repeating phrases like, "Where did I put it?" and "I think it's right over here." This continued for several minutes until I realized everyone else around the campfire was trying very hard not to fall out of their chairs laughing.
Always loved a good joke.
I am one of Roger's nephews and one his sister, Jean's, sons. Although, I wasn't very close to my Uncle Roger, I remember his as a solid, quiet man with that Northern Wisconsin laugh and a twinkle in his eye. I wish you a good journey, Uncle Roger, as you mingle with Chet, Rex, and Jean and other loved ones. I know your adventure will continue.
I remember the Christmas we all played Sour Apples to Apples. He was so funny! As the evening went on, and we got tired, it became even more delightfully silly to hear him & Bev (I was sitting next to Roger for a while) discuss their choices. Steve remembers that he was always interested in the farm activities.
