She preceded him in death in 2012 after almost 60 years of marriage. He was also preceded in death by his parents; one daughter in law, Linda Jo Beardslee; and one brother, Phillip Beardslee.Roger loved his family and he loved golf. He was proud of his yard and kept his lawn mowed as straight and clean as a golf course. Roger was always smiling. His daughter says she will most miss his hugs. Roger enjoyed Friday nights at the Moose Lodge in Elkhart and Goshen with his son. His family finds it hard to put in words the thousands of things they will miss about their dad, grandfather, and great grandfather.
Family and friends will greatly miss Roger.
