Friend of man who died in Pinconning Township gyroplane crash: 'He was a tremendous person'

Paul Rogers was always up an adventure, said a friend who knew the Bay City dentist for 30 years.
“That guy enjoyed life and he lived it to the fullest,” said friend Tom Taylor. Rogers, 63, died when the gyroplane he was piloting crashed Wednesday just after 6 a.m. in a field off of Interstate 75 in Pinconning Township. Taylor said he met Rogers at a scuba shop in Bay City three decades ago. In addition to scuba diving, both men enjoyed flying and were part of the Bay Area Rotorcraft and Ultralight Club. Taylor said Rogers was a generous person, always willing to step in for those in need of help. “He would do anything for anybody,” Taylor said. “If they needed help, he was there.”
