I have always considered Roger to be a mentor of mine, and without his influence and encouragement as a younger man, would probably not achieved nearly as much in terms of my fictional writings, which are now quite extensive, and still growing, thanks in large part to the motivation, and especially, the example which he provided.

Roger was one of the most special friends I ever had in my life, though we never met in person. What we shared was a passion for writing. I edited his book, "The Guardian of the One," and he provided suggestions on the editing of my anthology "Satirica," as well as providing it with a story called "Visitation," which was brilliant. My condolences to the entire family for the loss of a very brilliant and talented soul.

Roger was a good friend and collaborator of mine, though we never met in person. I helped to edit his book, Guardian of the One, which was brilliant, and I hope is still available. And he helped with my book, Satirica: An Anthology of Speculative Fiction, with his own very astute editorial advice. Very saddened to hear of his passing at such a young age.
