Hoover; one daughter, Karen Hoover House (George), Keith Hoover (Joyce Brooks), Jeremy Hoover and Johnny Reed; two sisters, Janice Blalock and Cynthia Hoover; seven grandchildren; four great grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews; and many friends he met along his journey.
A celebration of Roger’s life will be held at Sunnyvale Baptist Church at a later date.
