Mr. Roger Lee Hummel of White House, Tennessee passed away Sunday, May 7, 2017 at the Centennial Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. He was born June 3, 1947 in Goshen, Indiana to Lester and Hazel Eisenhour Hummel.

Mr. Hummel moved to this area from Goshen, Indiana in 1956. Mr. Hummel graduated from Nashville Auto Diesel College and worked as service manager for 40 years in the rock crushing industry, primarily with Southern Machinery Company.
