Two things come to mind. Many years ago, he was the speaker at a rendezvous in Elkview. Some guy asked him, if he had a deer that had his vital hidden behind a tree, what he would do. (Keeping in mind he was hunting woodlots in Ohio) He said, I’d pull back and put one thru his middle; with my Snuffers, I’d get him.
He was the banquet speaker in Cedar Lakes. During the Q & A, a young guy asked, “Mr. Rothhaar, what kind of broadheads do you shoot?” The kid had no idea. :^)
Roger is survived by sons Ronald Allen (Patricia) Rothhaar of Iowa and Roger Ryan (Katia) Rothhaar of Reedsville, IN; brothers Perry Donald, Wayne, Kevin, and Dwight (Johanna); sister in law Pat Rothhaar; brother in law Virgil Gottfried; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Roger graduated from Chatfield high School in 1956 and worked at Timken for 30 years. He and his wife moved to Iowa in 2001 where he farmed.

btw… I just thought of another little diddy I thought was funny. During a seminar I attended, he was discussing the trophy bucks he’d taken. He could remember in vivid detail, the month, day, year, weather, how many times he’d seen that particular deer, where he hit the buck, how far it traveled, how much it scored, etc, etc. He also mentioned hunting with his son, Ryan. Someone in the crowd asked, “Mr. Rothhaar, how old is Ryan?” A puzzled look came on his face, then he said, “Well… I’d have to ask the wife to be sure.”
