Survivors are: one son, Philip C. Rogerson(Shirley) of Fernandina Beach, Florida; one daughter, Susan Rogerson of Murrells Inlet; three grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.
Personal note: Time spent at Cooper Hall Retirement was good. He had close friends there: Al Leining (fag 49058512), Ann Wells (fag 109682469), Katherine "Kat" McFadden (fag 94035496).
Ashes scattered between parents' graves in Andrews Memorial, Andrews, SC.
The story I always heard was that Dad and Jimmy Sharpe McCutchen went into business together for this dealership. When times were tough and the income was not enough to support both our families, Dad offered to give his portion to Jimmy Sharpe if he could just remove his name from the bank notes. Jimmy Sharpe said no, and Dad bought out Jimmy Sharpe. It took him decades but he made a go of it. When Dad retired, David Chandler took over the car dealership, Dad still held the lease on the building... and as time went by, the building was leased to a couple of other businesses, then finally sold.
