I WAS THAT DORKY GIRL AT JOHN MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL WHO WOULD STARE AT THIS FANTASTIC YOUNG MAN. THE CLOTHES, HAIRSTYLES AND THE WAY HE WOULD DANCE DOWN THE HALLWAY TO HIS NEXT CLASS WOULD HAVE ME IN A DAZE. AND YES I DO REMEMBER THE ALBUM COVER USED AS A HAT. THAT WAS ROGER! R.I.P. MY CLASSMATE. SHEILA SISK CLASS OF 1983

Wow I was looking through the paper for an obit on a family friend I look close and saw a picture of Roger and was in shock. I was a Marshall Eagle class of 82 as well. I will never forget how he would come to school with a album cover as a hat. He was always looking for new styles. Wow RIP my class mate. Prayers go out to the family. Cynthia Frazier

Dear Roger, you have always been a great friend who I might not see for a while, but then we would start talking and it was if we had just talked the day before!! My dear friend, please keep Mother and Granny's hair looking good up in heaven!! You know they love you and will keep you well fed! Well, at least Granny will!
Rest in Peace My Friend

Roger,
I get the feeling you are tickled (pink?) just watching all the fuss down here. You're sitting back, a drink in one hand, that huge smile, and those twinkling/dancing eyes.
My prayers are with your family and friends.
YOU on the other hand won't need prayers, since you already made it! You've crossed over that Big Finish Line in the sky.

Roger,
You will be missed. My prayers are with the family at this time. God picks his flowers first.

Fun times in Milwaukee
Mia Thrash,
March 12, 2014
When I moved from New York to Milwaukee for law school I could not have imagined that God would bless me with such wonderful friends as you and Tisha. Our days and nights at the loft and making Milwaukee into our own New York will always be fond in my heart. Laughs, your gifted hands in my head (always a last minute appointment on my part..one that was never denied), our thanksgiving dinner for 3 and tooo many other memories to mention. I am sooo proud of you, proud that you were able to live out your dreams if only for a brief time. You are a wonderful man, great father and were a father figure to me at times when I needed it most. I love you and will keep you in my heart forever.
#RIP

Dear Roger,
You will be much missed. I always enjoyed your smile, your charm, your laughter. It was a pleasure to fit you into fabulous eyeglasses over the years. Your willingness to be edgy in your style choices, your delight in seeing yourself in new, colorful frames.
I was so pleased for you when you landed the Book of Mormon position. But Milwaukee missed you. No doubt all your clients did too.
Your energy in the ether will be a fine addition. Sleep well my friend.
Fondly,
Bronze

I have known you for thirty years and I have always welcomed seeing you. Your spirit was so light and airy. All parts of you were genuine and true. That will be forever with me and all that got the opportunity to be in your presence. Love you Roger.
