Randleman- Roger Lee Highfill, 73, was born October 12, 1947 in Guilford County, NC to the late, James Ray Highfill and Dorothy Lee Farrington Highfill.
Roger attended Randleman High School in his youth. He held many jobs including a car salesman and an upholsterer, until he finally found his calling with his job at Lowe’s Hardware. He started his own hardware business shortly after, Randolph Building Supply, which he owned and operated until his retirement after 35 years.
Roger spent his Sunday’s fishing or horseback riding when his daughter was young. He enjoyed Nascar racing and found in it a different type of hobby that he really loved.
