He left Barbados to serve at the pleasure of the Queen in the Royal Air Force at the age of 19. Dr. Rodgers was a trained podiatrist, whose passion was research. He used his gift for research at Boston University Medical Center for several decades. A man of strong faith, he worshipped at Good News Bible Chapel in Attleboro. He loved to share his voice in music and much of his time was spent for decades singing praises to the Lord with family, friends and church members. Dr. Rodgers enjoyed singing and celebrating life through song. Since moving to Linden Ponds, Dr. Rodgers shared his love for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ leading a monthly Hymn Sing for the residents. He also led Bible study for residents of the Alzheimer's group at the adjacent nursing facility. He treasured the many memories he had with his family, his wife's family and his numerous friends. He will be lovingly remembered as a gentle and caring man of God.
