___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our PCN Flight West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

In Memory of

Robert Anthony Rogers

May 21, 1954 - February 10, 2016


Robert Anthony Rogers, 61, of Roswell, GA, passed away February 10, 2016. He was born in El Paso, Texas on May 21, 1954. Bob graduated from Hialeah High School and then Florida State University. He was married to Leslie on December 4, 1993. Following in his father's footsteps, Bob has been a pilot for most of his life. His dream career started with the United States Air Force, and this year celebrates Bob's 30 year anniversary with Delta Air Lines.

He was a member of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church. His passion for golf and tennis was well known. He played golf frequently, visiting greens around the world. His forehand return was by some accounts as fearsome and menacing as Federer's. However, win or lose, with Bob it was always just a game with good fun and laughter. Bob never visited anyone empty handed and would often surprise friends and family with rare and cherished gifts such as collectible beer steins, exotic scotches and spirits acquired during his global adventures. His zeal for life, big, infectious smile and warm, booming voice will be missed.
.
Bob is survived by his wife, Leslie, and children Élan Hailey (Chris), Robert Rogers (Katheryn), Lauren Drysdale (Levi), Bret Rogers, and grandson Cayden Hailey. Bob is also survived by his sisters Susan Rogers, Toni Ficken (Stavros) and son Andrew, Kelli Rogers (Roger) and daughter Jolee, Kristine Rogers, and brother, John Rogers (Darlene). The family will receive friends from 4-7:00 pm on Monday February 15, 2016 at H.M. Patterson & Son Canton Hill, 1157 Old Canton Rd, Marietta, GA 30068. Funeral service will be held at 2:00 pm, February 16, 2016, at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church. To leave online condolences to the family, please visit our website at
