Roger was one of the truly great characters in my life, and I will miss him so much. I loved flying planes with him, and he has left a huge hole in our club. I always looked forward to seeing him at the Barnstormers club field, and had a great time traveling to Top Gun in FL with him a few years ago. What a terrific guy! :)
