On June 20, 2009, our family had a memorial at Sand Habor in Incline Village, NV. All of Lee's siblings, children, his wife, niece and nephew were there. We were also blessed to have people from Lee's school days attend. It was a beautiful sunny day surrounded by the beautiful Sierra trees and of course the lake Lee so dearly loved. Thank you to all who attended and shared memorable stories.

Life was just not something to get upset about for him. Anyway, thanks for all the calls and know Lee will be directing from heaven .

Hi Dad, It's Momo
Monique Rogers Feb 22, 2009
Hey it’s Mo. You were the best dad any child could ask for. I am a pretty good judge of that because I have known you my whole life. All of us kids looked up to you so much. You were our tutor in school, our mentor, and the person we came to for advice on life and career paths. You instilled a drive in us, a passion for life, and the desire to be good to others. We are all over-achievers maybe due to the fact that you were always the master of what is the next step. You left shoes for us kids that are to big to be filled. We can only aspire to be as great a human being as you were.
How did you have the strength to do all you did? Did you have a clone, were you a cyborg? Nope, you were just superhuman. You raised five amazing children and I am not saying that just because I am one of them, not to toot my own horn but I am pretty amazing. Between all five of us we make a genius. You had it all: a loving marriage of over 30 years, a family that genuinely cared for each other and a career you loved. Your successes will live on in everything you shared with us, especially your knowledge.
I will hold close to my heart the memories of our time spent just you and me driving down route 66 from Texas to California. Twice!! Sorry you had a daughter that experienced flim flam and could not decide what state she wanted to live in. The time that I lived with you briefly in Houston and each day when you would come home from work we would always press your Blues Brother Movie quote machine. We will always have those famous Rogers moments that resemble the Griswold’s traveling to see Wally World. “Real tomato ketchup Eddie?” ha-ha
You and I were always like frat brothers joking and talking in accents. Your favorite accents of mine are the Hispanic or Russian accents. I miss you calling me pumpkin or boo bear. To others you may have been ordinary but to me you were my hero. You fought off nightmares and the dreaded Freddy Krueger. I will always admire your strength, knowledge, determination, and fearless nature. My heart is truly broken and there is not one day I will not miss you. You were our leader. Each day I say what would dad do? I get up and go to work like a brave soldier with a smile on my face. You were the bravest. I could never do what you did, fighting cancer twice. You never EVER complained and you just went on with life finding something to smile and laugh about.
I hope you are up there micro-managing, having fun with family, friends, and our furry four-legged companions. Make sure you look in on us from time to time. You are gone from this world but will never be absent from our hearts. I love you dad and miss you each day.
Your Boo Bear,
MoMo (Monique)
announcement put out at Baker Hughes

• On Saturday, January 3, 2009 Centrilift lost an employee and many in Human Resources lost a friend and mentor. Leslie ‘Lee’ Rogers passed away after a year long battle with Leukemia. Lee served Centrilift as our Workforce Planner but served in several capacities during his over 5 years with Baker and has left a lasting footprint. Many may not know that Lee contributed to the inception and design of Centrilift’s RAMP program. Lee drew on years of significant experience as a leader in Chevron’s Engineering Development programs. Lee also served Baker Oil Tools as their Director of Organization Development and his leadership and experience at BOT helped craft many of the ideas now being used in our talent management organization. Lee was a hard worker with an obsession to teach and inform others. He had a wealth of experience and knowledge and we all were the beneficiaries whether we know it or not. Lee made sure that we never stopped learning how to improve our processes and our ability to develop our employees. He was an avid learner. In fact, many did not know that Lee actually completed his MBA while working at Baker in 2007.
But if you knew Lee, he was proud of his contribution to Baker Hughes but you also knew how much he loved his family. Lee lived in Claremore, Oklahoma. His wife Mart has been Lee’s spouse for many years and she will tell you they were best friends. They shared many wonderful times together and she admired him greatly. They have raised five (5) wonderful children to have the very same passion for learning and helping others learn. Lee shared himself with everyone he knew; just as he did with his family. He is already missed greatly by many.
If you were not among the fortunate ones who knew Lee personally, take a moment and open the link to see how Lee’s life impacted us all.
