The William Bowen Rogers Memorial Scholarship was established 7/29/10 by the members of Camp Agee (Bill's fraternity brothers from OU).

The William Bowen Rogers Memorial Scholarship was established 7/29/10 by the members of Camp Agee (Bill's fraternity brothers from OU).

We all feel blessed to have known and loved Bill, and we wanted to pool our funds together with hopefully others, who, in lieu of flowers, would prefer to pay it forward to deserving students in the College of Fine Arts. We hope the advertising folks and friends of Bill's will jump on this and help us make it happen.  His memory deserves to go down in history. As long as our loved ones remain in our hearts, they will never die and will live forever.  

It is rumored that if we could see the joyous celebration of singing, dancing and praise that occurs when our loved one enters heaven, we would never shed a tear.  If you listen very carefully, right before you drift off to sleep, you can faintly hear the party going on for Bill. Just listen for the laughter.

Gifts to the fund can be made out o the OU Foundation, 100 Timberdell Drive, Norman, OK 73019 and noted for the "William Bowen Rogers Memorial Scholarship." ]]> billrogersart 2010-07-27T22:13:00-07:00 2010-07-27T20:47:00-07:00 tag:billrogersartcom,2010:BillRogersArt.3

William Bowen Rogers (my dad) past away unexpectedly from a stroke, Sunday, July 25, 2010. I hope visitors to this site were fortunate enough to experience his gentle humor and unique creative genius. I'll miss our frustrating non-linear conversations, his wacky "million dollar" ideas, golf course antics, tales of H.S. football glory, mischievous smile, etc. This website was launched in 2008 and like many of his paintings, never completed (my fault). In the last few months he managed to put some of his artwork online. It can be viewed at http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/2-william-rogers.html. Please feel free to post comments here or at Legacy.com. In order to facilitate postings here, I am unable to screen out spam effectively, so I apologize if something untoward is overlooked. A few ago, my dad celebrated his 76th birthday with a group of dear fraternity friends, and this previous weekend with his wife, Cheryl, biological son (me), daughter (Ann), their spouses (Heather and Robert respectively), and 21 month-old granddaughter, Sarah Finley Rogers. We feel so lucky we were able to enjoy some of his last days with us, a true gift. I told my sister that when someone dies it's like they left for vacation and never returned. He's lucky to be on vacation now but we have to miss him. - William (Billy/Bill) Case Rogers
