Roger worked for many years at Bradwell Power Station in Essex, which was not far from his home in Burnham On Crouch, where he built up a considerable knowledge of Electronics, which he would later use in Amateur Radio and in the pursuit of his many other hobbies

He was also Secretary of the Dengie Hundred Radio Society for many years.

Roger was always one of the first to volunteer for many events, sometimes up to 12 months in advance – but a keen favourite was the Saltmarsh 75 which went round the Dengie Peninsula!

Anyone who knew Roger, would classify him as one of the most welcoming, friendly and talkative people ever to grace Essex RAYNET!

He will be greatly missed by current and retired members of Essex RAYNET.
