He married Laverne Meyer, the mother of his children: Cynthia Ann James and Roger Alan Mohr. He later married Anna Burton Elley in 1975 at Friedens United Church of Christ in Washington and welcomed her four children as his own. These children became brothers and sisters and never referred to as step-children but as his own. He loved all of the children and they loved him.
Roger was rancher, farmer, tractor mechanic, and retired in 2003 from Ewald Tractor in Seguin. Roger and Anna then moved to Washington on part of the Mohr family farm where Roger grew up. He maintained constant communication with his sisters and brothers who lived nearby. Roger was a wonderful husband and father. As an avid gardener he started a pecan and fruit orchard.
Roger was very active in church and he was on the church council. Roger really enjoyed and looked forward to playing cards and dominoes with his family, friends and fellow church members. One of his favorite activities was playing chicken foot domino at the church with his fellow church members.
