Roger was a great Firefighter & Officer. With well over 30 plus years of service, at multiple locations; The Clinton VFD Co. 25 PG County where he was elevated to the level of Deputy Fire Chief, Andrews Air Force Base FD as a Driver Operator and at Reagan National Airport (Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority) retired as Lieutenant. Roger was always dedicated to hard work, would help anyone with anything that needed to be done. Had many great times with Roger in those days, he will be certainly missed, especially within the FD world. I knew that after his FD retirement, he would still work at other jobs, that was just Roger. He was one of the Best, rest easy brother. A. “Hutch” Hutchinson, Retired Battalion Fire Chief MWAA
