Hopkinsville High

Hopkinsville’s Bobby Rogers has passed…

June 16, 2026 Fletcher Long 1

No matter the age of a love one, and regardless of the certainty of death, we never seem ready for someone to leave us. We shouldn’t feel for the one who leaves, they are going to a better place. We should (and often do) feel for the ones left behind. My best friend’s dad has passed and my friend is (understandably) distraught. We all are, especially around the offices of the magazine. Bobby Rogers was a one of a kind guy who knew just how to father, husband, or even pull off being a great friend. Bobby will be missed. Enjoy this memorial to him and his memory.

His matriculation to UK was ill-timed. When the great Danny Sundberg, the pride of Waggener High arrived on the Wildcat campus, reporting for football camp, the Big Blue had just hired a Bear Bryant assistant named, Charlie Bradshaw. Needless to say, it didn’t go well. Thereafter, Sundberg and several of his Wildcat mates transferred to WKU where Sundberg would earn three varsity letters (1963-65) as a fullback. When you look into the soulful eyes of the man, you see the pain from some hard living welled up inside. You see something else too. You see contentment, you see pride, and you see a guy who has been a hero to so many through the years, this author included. Take a bow, Danny Sundberg. You have earned it.
