Priority One Financial Services Mourns Loss of Roger Padgett – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Priority One Financial Services, a full-service finance company for marine, RV, trailer and equipment dealers, announced the recent passing of Roger Padgett, senior business manager.
Padgett recently celebrated 10 years of employment with Priority One. He was known for his lighthearted disposition and strong relationships with dealer partners. Padgett came to Priority One with over 25 years of experience in the auto and RV industries, both as a general sales manager and as a finance manager.
“Roger was a storyteller – telling tales all day and making everyone laugh. He promoted levity, always brightening the room and the conversation. Roger also had a wonderful relationship with many of his dealers, attending their trade shows and communicating with them regularly,” said Rina Aponte, senior manager of operations.
“He had a huge heart – would help anyone and everyone that came to him. And he would recommend some of the most out of the way, hole-in-the-wall restaurants. Occasionally we would try them, and wouldn’t you know it – they were just as great as he said,” reflected Markle Janner, manager of operations.
Outside of the office, Padgett enjoyed spending time with his fiancé, Lisa, his children and grandchildren, and watching Clemson football.
