Born March 11, 1933, the last surviving child of the late Rufas Matthew Rogers and the late Mae Randolph Rogers, he was a native of Harriman, Tennessee. The family resided in Michigan City, Indiana prior to making the Lowcountry of South Carolina their home for the past ten years. In Indiana, he retired as a heavy equipment operator from Michigan City Water Works and was a member of Faith City Assembly of God where he was active in the church’s work. Locally the couple were members of Living Word Outreach Ministries. In his younger years, his love for music lead him to sing with his family’s quartet group. Bob will be fondly remembered for the love and devotion he possessed for his family as well as his passion for tending to his yards.
