In Memoriam: Roger Raaum

Words: Dave AbbottWe received the sad news that a good friend and supporter of AGC and our industry has passed away suddenly in Arizona.

Roger Raaum of BOR-SON Construction, Inc. was a negotiator and committee member for many years. Roger’s friendly demeanor, keen insights, collaborative nature, and vast experience made him a valuable part of our negotiating committees. He kept us all on our toes with his jokes and storytelling and he always had a positive perspective on most situations. He has been retired for a few years, and his passing was unexpected.

The visitation will be on Sunday from 3-6 and the funeral will be on Monday with a visitation period prior from 9:30-10:30 at the Anderson Funeral Home in Alexandria, MN.

Please join AGC and all of our industry in remembering Roger and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
