He loved fishing, gardening, playing cards, occasional trips to the casino, and is just a jack of all trades. He is loved by many, because of his smile, wonderful attitude, hard work ethics, generosity, and his love for all. He worked hard all of his life to support his family, including his family who are still in the Philippines.
Rogelio, Roger, Totoy, Manong Roger, Tiyong Totoy, Kuya Roger and Papa is what his friends and loved ones called him.
Papa, thank you for everything you've taught us, provided us with, your hard work, and for the things you've sacrificed for us all. Thank you for being so brave coming to this country to give us a better life. Your hard work and sacrifice will never be forgotten. We will always appreciate and love you forever. We will miss you but will never forget you. You are in our hearts. For now we will just say until we meet again. We love you.
