Dr. Rogers practiced for 34 years as a general dentist, where he was admired for his clinical excellence and loved by his patients and staff. Other passions in his life were his farm, his family and his fishing buddies. His farm is where he raised beef cattle and brought his children up knowing the dignity of doing things correctly and the glory of an honest day’s work. Times with family and friends working on the farm with us bring memories of much laughter and much more sweat! His fishing & hunting trips with his buddies were precious and relaxing!
