They were married for nearly 51 years at the time of Shirley’s passing in January. Roscoe, being the kind and generous man he was, cared for Shirley's three daughters, Diana Briones, Debra Deen, & Dena Szymarek, as his own children. After retiring from the Air Force Roscoe started a remodeling business which he operated for 40 years. His hobbies included hunting, fishing, dancing and his favorite pastime, playing poker.
