Roger was a good guy. He always had a smile on his face and spark in his eye. With his passing you should take solice in knowing that he taught you well and will now be with your Mom again.
He will be missed by all. And all are a little better for knowing him.

What can I say about my Uncle Roger only that he was a man that had a love of family where he found a true inner peace... I remember growing up on the farm and how he would help with the many chores from dawn to dusk and tell stories about how my mom and dad met, his many exploits in the trucking world and with his beautiful wife (Aunt Burle) would go camping to see Dale racing and Beth with her horse shows...
I can just see him now on the wings of his Harley as he is entering into another realm of discovery where he will be greeted by his loved ones with no more trials, tribulations and suffering just the comforting arms of LOVE...We will always remember your smile and determination of perfection...
The Behre family extends the grace of eternal happiness with blessings of strength, sincerity and simplicity...
