TO THE FAMILY OF ROGER,
He was a dear coworker who was always attentive, concerned and kind towards his fellow coworkers. When you called or asked for something, he was always there. He took care of every detail without reserve or complain. He always brought delicious food to all our event potlucks. His untimely passing is a wake up call to all of us. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. The last night before he left work,I said, "see you tomorrow Roger" We should not hesitate to show love and concern for others because tomorrow is not promised to any of us.
Condolences to the Family, Roger will be missed.
