Roger continued to run the company for years eventually changing the name to Kalbfleisch Construction. His son Jeff now runs the company. He found a great satisfaction in providing high quality in the buildings that he put up, and enjoyed pointing them out to anyone he was with. Roger loved the Lord and lived his life accordingly. He believed strongly in supporting his church, Filer Church of the Nazarene. He enjoyed gospel music, especially when Carol was involved in it. Roger was very proud of Carol and her musical endeavors. He loved spending time with his family, vacationing in the Mountains or just romping around the house. He especially enjoyed his grand children and great grand children. He enjoyed helping others and never wanted recognition for it.
