You will be greatly missed by all the organizations that you dedicated so much time to. Your life has touched the lives of others in such a way that you will never be forgotten. I am blessed to have known you.

Roger,

I just learned of your mother's passing and want to take this moment to express my condolences, and to let you know that you and your family are in my thoughts & prayers.

I have't seen your mother since that time at the cottage on the lake when you had a party for employees, and "you know who" passed out at the dinner table. Though I could tell that, on the one hand, your mom found it as funny as the rest of us, she also insisted that we be gracious & kind to the person. Which is how I remember your mother - as a kind gracious lady.

I hope you find some comfort and joy in your memories.

With warm regards,
