Roger also gave his time to many Hampton civic organizations. For many years Roger umpired Little League baseball, Babe Ruth baseball and girls high school softball games.

He was a life member of the AmVets, American Legion and Franklin County Historical Society.
Roger was a former member of the United Methodist Church and a current member of the First Christian Church. His other interests included meeting with "the boys" in Bradford every morning for coffee and cards, collecting coins and guns, watching old westerns and of course watching and cheering for the New York Yankees.
Roger leaves behind a loving wife, Norma; one son, Patrick and his wife, Becky, of Hampton; three brothers, James Palmer and Jess Palmer of Washington and Chuck Palmer of California; and two faithful basset hounds, Muffin and Daisy.
