Liz and family-

Rick shared with me the sad news. I'm sorry for your loss. Please know you're in my prayers. I'll always remember when I was a boy the time that Roger showed me an elephant's horn at Willie's house and hearing about his adventures in Africa. Always talkative, always with an opinion, and full of life.
