    When I think of Roger, I think of him tinkering in the garage and telling jokes. Corny ones, but his grin afterwards was always the punchline. Thanks for the memories “Rog”… You’ll be missed.

    Mike, Sara, Chris, and Judy,

    I am so very sorry to hear about Roger. I only met him a few times, but I knew him and liked him through knowing you four. I know his loss will be so difficult to bears, but you can be very proud that he was so active and social and lived a good life with many friends. My heart aches for you.

    Sincerely,
    ~Sheryl~
