also retired after 33 years. Roger was proceeded in death by five brothers;

Chloe Lucas; Taylor and Lucas Hazlett; and Zackary Lucas. Roger is also
survived by his brother Fred (Jeanie) Lucas and two sisters; Karen (George)
Porter and Sharon (Ronnie) Lucas. Roger will be truly missed by everyone who
had the pleasure of knowing him. Being the youngest of ten children, Roger
was cherished by his brothers and sisters. In return, Roger had immense love
for his siblings, as well as a very special bond between his many nieces and
nephews. Equally important to Roger was the relationships he had with his
brother-in-law, Chuck (Carolyn) Adkins and his sister-in-law, Kathy (Ronnie)
Hutchison. There wasn’t a problem Roger couldn’t fix or anything he couldn’t
build. Roger’s unwavering strength and selflessness made him the center of
his family’s life. He was an extraordinary man who loved his children and
grandchildren with all his heart. He especially loved and adored his wife,
Billie. His unmeasurable love for her served as an inspiration to anyone who
knew them. A celebration of life will be held at Reger Funeral Home in
Huntington, West Virginia. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the service to
honor Roger’s life will be held at a later date.
