Attending Beechwood High School in my Sophomore year through graduation, I met a wonderful young man, Roger, who was always a gentleman, kind, and just plain NICE! Always seemed happy yet, a very level headed young man and had the charisma to attract many friends. I met Eileen at our reunions, and found an instant friend. They were lucky to have found each other, so I am certain their children are continuously passing on wonderful traits from their parents. God Bless Roger, and Eileen too. He will be missed, even tho mentally, to me.

Dear Eileen and family, I'm sorry for your loss. I had the privilege and pleasure of meeting and working with Roger through BCAA. When my son was college bound Roger went over and above to facilitate meaningful introductions at his alma mater. He will be truly missed.
