Just now saw the notice of Roger´s passing. Have not seen him since HS baseball. I was always on an opposing team, but I clearly remember Roger´s kindness, skills behind the plate, and his love of the game.

Roger and I used to wrestle against each other and I knew him in high school as I went to Mitchell at the time he was in Wasson. I'm so sorry that he has passed away.

Roger and I played little league baseball together. I spent many an afternoon at his house playing wiffle ball too. He was a great friend. I am sorry to hear of his passing. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

My husband and I were Roger's friends in the 1970's. We have many fond memories of him. I grew up in the twenty hundred block of north Wahsatch, just south of the family home. We are so sorry to hear of Roger's passing. He was a wonderful guy! Cathy (Napoletan) Callaway

Sorry to hear of Rogers passing.I have great memories of Roger as a freshman at Boulder in 1969. He and I along with Mike Bowers played many a practicle joke , (usually at Dr. Jim Palmers expense) at Nichols Hall. He was a wonderful man with a big heart , bright smile and a hardy laugh. Thanks for the memories Roger.

I played softball with Roger and his brother Ray in the 1980's. He was a great guy and he sure could play ball. We had a lot of great times. I was always borrowing his drill. When he found out I was moving back to Cleveland, he bought me my own drill. He signed the case it came in. Every time I use the drill I think of my friend Roger
