Bio
Albuqueque Journal April 24, 2014 PAPE, ROGER C. Roger Pape, age 71, a resident of Bosque Farms, went to be with his Lord on April 22, 2014 after bravely fighting cancer over the past few months. With his keen sense of humor and uplifting spirit, people who met him loved spending time with him. He enjoyed spending time with his friends and family; he was a proud father and especially proud grandfather. He was blessed to have the company of many dear friends while he fought, he and the family will be forever grateful to the many who came by to visit him or send him get well wishes. Roger lived his faith in Jesus Christ and worshiped at Calvary Chapel in Albuquerque. Roger was born near Doniphan, Nebraska and grew up on a farm nearby. After college he worked at the Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant, taught accounting at a business school and at night he had a successful dance band. He was the leader of the band, putting it together and arranging locations to play. The band grew into a popular country western band named Pure Intensity, who played all around Nebraska and beyond. He moved away from Nebraska to continue work as a safety engineer, but decided to move to New Mexico to be closer to his children. In New Mexico, he worked for S.E.D. and Quest Diagnostics for over ten years. He was a Cornhusker at heart and proudly wore red during football games. He was a car enthusiast; he loved cars, especially 1971 Corvettes and Corvairs. Although he didn't get to drive his Corvair as he was restoring it, driving his Corvette always made him happy. He enjoyed racing stock cars with his son, working night after night to get it ready and scraping mud and pitting for him. A memorial service will be held at the Peralta Memorial United Methodist Church at 25 Wesley, Peralta, NM at 1 PM on Friday April 25, 2014
