Lee Rogers Tribute

Special Remembrance of Lee Rogers
• Thanks to Carlos Diaz and Gary Brown for forwarding:
• 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.
