The growing up years were happy days. Roger had a love of horses and showed them for years at local fairs. Roger went to school at Zepher, Bruxelles and Baldur. Entertainment was shows, dancing and visiting. After high school, Roger taught one year at Hazelwood SD north of Deleau, MB. He then started farming with his father and brothers until he went on his own. On October 4, 1952, he married Angele Baete of Holland, Mb. They moved to 11-4-13E ½ and did mixed farming for many years. Roger and Angele bought E ½ 11-4-13 from Albert Lebeau, NW36-3-13 from Arthur Lindsay Estate (1962) and SE1-4-13 from Ralph Ballentine (1990). Roger and Angele had a family of 5. Roger was civic minded and was a member of Pool Elevators of Glenora, Glenora Hall Board, Glenora School, Mariapolis Town Board, Mariapolis Friendship Club, Mariapolis church board, Councillor for Ward 1 Argyle Municipality, Mariapolis Credit Union. He was an active member of Mariapolis Friendship Club. After Angele’s passing in 1995, Roger married Alice DeDecker in 1996.
