Joseph Evans Rogers, Jr, 80, resident of Oak Crest Village in Parkville MD, died on Friday, January 11, 2019 at Gilchrist hospice from complications of prostate cancer. He is survived by Gertrude (Brown), his wife of 54 years, daughters Elizabeth and M. Katherine (Leonard Dickens) and grandsons Alexander Dickens and Mateo Rogers.

Joe was born January 8, 1939 in Moorestown, NJ. He was a graduate of Moorestown Friends School, Haverford College (BA Chemistry) and Cornell University (PhD Chemistry). He served with many Quaker organizations over the years, particularly on the boards of Pendle Hill, FCNL, and Friends House.
