He was born November 16, 1938 in Akron, NY, a son of the late Norman and Evelyn (Kaderli) Brewer.

Roger was employed by H & M Foundations for many years before his family moved to Williamsburg, VA and then Ponchatoula, LA where Roger commuted to Texas to work in the oil fields for Circle Bar Drilling Company.

Roger (and his family) returned home to Akron in 1985 and finished up his career with Northeast Caissons as a welder prior to his retirement.

He will be missed by all who knew him.
