Roger's journey on this earth began on October 12, 1935, in Walnut, Illinois, where he was welcomed into the world by his parents, Kennison and Helen Williams. Roger graduated from Walnut High School in 1953 and went on to serve his country honorably in the United States Army. Following his military service, he embarked on a long and successful career. He worked for UPS, co-owned Associated Electronics, and retired as a branch manager with Pitney Bowes. He married the love of his life, Sharon, on November 10th, 1957. Together they raised 4 children, relocated to Texas in 1977, and watched their family grow. He was preceded in death by his cherished wife, Sharon, along with his siblings Joanne, Mildred, Rosemary, and Ron, and his daughter-in-law Jeanie. His legacy of love and laughter lives on in his surviving family, including his children: Brad, Craig, Laura (Mark), and Steve (Paige). Roger was further blessed with 11 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren, all of whom filled his life with immense happiness. He is also survived by his siblings, Carolyn and Larry, who remember him with love and affection. Roger was a shining light in the lives of all who knew him, known for his quick wit and infectious smile. He had a remarkable ability to bring laughter and joy to any room with his ready jokes and funny sayings, endearing himself to everyone he met.
