Memories and Condolences
for Roger Allan

Not sure what to say?





I was a patient of Roger´s for over 20 years, and he managed to ease my pain and save my teeth numerous times. There was the time I fell from a ceiling chasing after some ill-behaved middle school students and the time I fell and did a face plant into the concrete turning off Christmas lights. Both times I knocked my teeth loose and Roger saved them all! There was the time I almost swallowed a major crown that came off of a root canal. Roger felt so bad that I had to confess that I had been chewing on Tootsie Rolls and taffy from Halloween when I pulled it off! My favorite story though was when Neal had just joined the practice. I needed some quick dental work and Roger had no appt openings, so Marcia booked me with Neal for the 1st time. I said I was hesitant because nobody could give as good a novocaine shot as Roger (gentle and painless). So while I was getting my shot with Neal, I didn´t realize until later that Roger and Marcia had been hiding around the corner listening as I praised Neil for his great technique. I was always touched by what a proud father, grandfather and family man Roger was, as well as being dedicated to his profession. I have truly missed him these past years. I thank not just Roger, but his entire staff and family for many fond memories.

Roger was a wonderful friend and an excellent dentist. I think of him often and always with the fondest thoughts and memories. He was always interested and caring about the lives and events of others, and he always had a kind word for those around him. Roger could even make you feel good before he started drilling on your teeth. What a special skill. Roger was the best, and he is dearly missed.
