Ray Rodgers spent a lifetime leveling the incongruities of good humor and fixing cuts on the faces of fist fighters. Beyond mending the wounds of professionals, Rodgers was at the heart of amateur boxing in Arkansas and across America.
Ray Rodgers, widely known in state and national boxing circles and a 2007 inductee into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame, died early Tuesday morning surrounded by family at his son Michael Rodgers home in Nashville, Tenn., at the age of 87.
