Roger Dale, was the son of Eugene Roy and Clementine (Lohnes) Herman. Roger met Shirley Merrick and they married on March 22, 1976. Between them they have two boys, Roger Dale and Robert Daniel, ten grandchildren and one great grandchild, who Roger was so proud of them and his grandchildren for what they have become. Roger was a loving and caring person and had many friends in Canada and the United States. He had a very tidy home and yard. Everything had to be in its right place. He had a garden that he looked after, everything he planted he would say “my babies will like eating this when it’s ready”. His grandchildren meant the world to him. He worked in his workshop where he built bird houses in the winter time. He also made Pow Wow drums and had the gift for making spiritual pipes and rattles. He had the heart for loving and caring for his family and relatives and will be greatly missed. We have lost someone so very special to us but we will keep him in our hearts forever.
