Rodger is survived by his wife of 35 years, LuAnn Boyd Durham; daughter, Emily Durham Diy (Carlo) of Durham, NC; and son, Nathan W. Durham (Lisa) of Jacksonville, FL. They were the light of his life.
Rodger graduated from Greensboro Senior High (Grimsley), Davidson College, and Purdue University. He was a land surveyor, teacher, and program manager for North Carolina's Floodplain Mapping Program in Raleigh. He served as a 1st Lieutenant in the US Army during the Vietnam War.
With Rodger's declining health over the last eight years, we have missed his keen intellect. He had a depth and breadth of knowledge on the subjects of surveying and survey law, forestry and the outdoors, music, sailing, the Great Books, and philosophy. A niece wrote a sweet sentiment upon learning of Rodger's passing that she "pictured him hiking the heavens, surveying paradise."
The family expresses sincere thanks to Hospice and Palliative Care of Greensboro, especially to the nurses, Dr. Feldman, Molly Lyle, Maria Donnell, and Beacon Place. Their help, along with Sara Shapiro's, made it possible for Rodger to be cared for at home. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice and Palliative Care of Greensboro, 2500 Summit Avenue, Greensboro, NC, 27405.
