Roger LeRoy Ormsby was born February 28, 1935, in Cedar County, Iowa, the son of Frank and Dorothy (Finck) Ormsby. He married June L. Roggenkamp on October 12, 1956, in Davenport. He served in the U.S. Army Reserves and worked as a service manager for Strieter Ford and Lindquist Ford.

Roger was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Davenport and was an avid Iowa Hawkeyes and St. Louis Cardinals fan. He enjoyed fishing and golfing. Above all else, family was the most important thing to Roger, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
