Roger was a super guy. He did work on my home in West St Paul years ago. We have kept in touch over the years as Roger drove by and stopped to visit at my home on Sperl St. I often dropped by his office and enjoyed our visits. He will be missed

I have only known Roger for a few months through BNI, but knew upon meeting him that he is man of integrity that enjoyed living to the fullest. Much of his presentation time with us focused on family and boating! He took great pride in working hard and playing hard. My sympathy to the family during this time of loss.

I was shocked and saddened to read of Roger's death. Although I never met his family my sincere sympathy goes out to all of them.
Roger and Quality Exteriors did all the replacement work on our home's gutters, siding, windows and roof. Roger also put me in contact with another reputable company that restored the insulation in our house. I feel extremely fortunate to have been able to know Roger and to do business with his company. I was consistently pleased with the quality of their work and with the personable and professional individuals that Roger had on his staff. The first time I met Roger I knew I was dealing with a fair and honest man. When I called Roger I knew the job would get done right.
The local community has lost a truly outstanding individual in Roger Staples.
My thoughts and prayers are with Roger's family and friends.

We were shocked to see Roger's obituary in the paper today. Roger was an absolutely stellar guy. We met him many years ago as customers. Throughout the years and the various improvements he made to our home, Roger would stop by and say 'hi'and visit for a while. He was always interested in how we were doing and how he could help us in any way. I would run into him in Menards, and frequently referred customers to him. He always had kind words to say. I never hesitated in referring Roger to do a job for a friend or family member because I knew that he would always deliver the very best. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you grieve the loss of such a vital, caring guy. May God comfort you as you seek His mercies in the days ahead. Our sincere condolences.

Dear Dad in Heaven
I sit here and ponder how very much
I'd like to talk to you today
There are so many things
That we didn't get to say
I know how much you care for me
And how much I care for you,
And each time that I think of you
I know you'll miss me too.
An angel came and called your name
And took you by the hand and said
Your place was ready in Heaven, far above . . .

And you had to leave behind,
all though you dearly loved
You had so much to live for, you had so much to do . . .
It still seemed impossible, that God was taking you.
And though your life on earth is past,
n Heaven it starts anew
You'll live for all eternity, just as God has promised you.
And though you've walked through Heaven's gate
We are never far apart
For each time that we think of you,
You're right here deep with-in our hearts. (Author Unknown)

Dear Karen, Angie, Tony & Troy,
What a shock it was to hear of the death of Roger-I am so, so very sorry for your loss.
He was such an awesome guy, easy to know & like. We exchanged 'waves' often as he drove past my house to/from Quality Exterior. Likewise, he was a “Quality” guy! It is unconceivable the many losses your family has suffered in the past few years and now, your dear Husband & Father. Yet, I am struck by the incredible strength, support & strong belief in the Lord shared by your amazing family during these sad times. My prayers are for God to wrap His loving arms around all of you now, lighting your way to His peace & comfort.
Bearhugs, Laurie Gravelle
