On July 28, 1989, he married Lyndi “Louie” Tryon Jones at their home. Roger loved the outdoors.  He especially enjoyed raccoon hunting with his dog Boone, who at age 14 passed away on the same day as Rog from a snake bite.  He was very proud of their prize bobcat.  Family and friends looked forward to deer season with him, learning from his hunting skills and joking about the maps drawn with pliers in the dirt.  He was a member of the Catholic Church and Sons of the American Legion.  Roger served on the Marshall County Fair Board, Elm Creek Township, Beattie Co-op Board and Kansas Farmers Union. He was preceded in death by his father, Frank; first wife, Peggy; and infant daughter, Nichole.
