Roger was born April 9, 1937, in Wenatchee, Washington to Mary Louise ‘Peggy’ Shore Ault and Bud Amos Ault.

The family returned to the shore of Lake Wenatchee in 1941 to reside in a log cabin that Bud built for the family. Lake Wenatchee always had a special place in Roger’s heart.

In 1942, the family moved to Chelan, Washington, where Roger attended Chelan High School, became a member of the Naval Reserve while a senior, and graduated in 1955.

Roger completed Naval boot training in San Diego California, and served as a hospital corpsman on the USS Whitehurst, earning two Letters of Commendation.

After completing a course in watchmaking and additional studies in Elgin, Illinois, he received his master’s degree in watchmaking.

Upon returning to Chelan, Roger graduated from Wenatchee Junior College, allowing him to enter the University of Washington as a junior, and graduated in 1960 with a degree in business administration.

Roger married Sonia Joan Genoway, and they had three daughters. They later divorced but remained devoted to their daughters and grandsons.

During the following years, Roger became a Realtor, active in the purchase and management of single- and multiple-family rental homes.

Roger was an avid cyclist, enjoyed diving for sixgill sharks, and had a deep interest in submarines, genetics, and genealogy.

He was also a loving daddy to his cats, Kit-Kit and Kit-Kit II.

We miss you, Daddy.
