Roger Aspegren passed away today, peacefully, after a short battle with cancer. Roger built an exceptional RV- 9a with a Subaru engine. It ran perfectly and is a testimate to his skills as a builder. Roger was also building an RV-12 at the time of his diagnosis. He also built a Kitfox before the RV.
Roger worked tirelessly for the EAA Chapter 569 Lincoln, NE Chapter and helped with and organized the once a month breakfast at Crete Airport, Nebraska the 3rd Sat of the every month for years. He would make omletes to order and always had a smile on his face. At 6'6" he was hard to miss. He served all of the EAA chapter offices several times and was the "go to guy" to get things organized. He attended OSH and SnF many times. Just an all around good guy to know, and he was an exceptional pilot / aviator.
Roger will be missed by a lot of people both in aviation and with the local Kiwanis chapter where he was very active.
He was one of a kind and died way too young. Cancer truly sucks.
Blue skies and tail winds, as you head west Roger. Your work is just starting.
