To my dear Lughead (Roger); Remember I used to call you that when we were kids? And you used to call me Goofie Ruthie! I always hated that so of course I heard it alot.
You put up a good fight and even though we didn't see each other very much over the years, I never stopped thinking of you. Your baby sister, Goofie Ruthie
Dee-I am so sorry for your loss. Thanks for taking care of my brother throughout all your years together. My thoughts, prayers, and love to you, your sons, daughter, and grandchild.

To Dee, Scott and Family, We were saddened to hear of Rog's passing. Thinking back to when we were kids in Lansing, he was 6 years younger than me, and he was a lovable, tag along kid brother, we had some fun adventures. Although we have been living away from Lansing for over 66 years, we have kept Rog and Dee and family in our thoughts. We know he has been suffering for a long time and now, at last, he has peace. He will be missed. Our condolences go out to you. Doug and Audrey Cornell and Family from Arizona

Remembering Roger as a child joining our "doughnut Sundays", playing penny poker against him for years at the folks and hearing the tales of his pranks at Deer camp from the boys! Dee and Roger have been a large part of our family gatherings so there are so many delightful memories! Roger will be missed by us all. Love to the family - Kathy [Kletke] Riel

Mrs. Cornell and Family: I am very sorry for your loss. Mr. Cornell was a wonderful man and it was my pleasure to know him. He was a patient at the dentist office where I work. I've known him for 20 years and I will greatly miss his smiling face. He was so strong and such a sweet caring and fun person. I truly loved him dearly and I will miss him so much. I am glad that he is no longer suffering after so many years of fighting illness. He was a fighter that is for sure. My heart goes out to you and the family.

Mr. Cornell was a patient at the dental office where I work. I've known him for 20 years and I always would let him know he was my favorite face to see and he was. He will be greatly missed. He was a wonderful man and I loved him dearly. I am sadden to know I won't see his smiling face again but I am happy to know he is no longer sick after so many years of fighting illness and that he finally is relieved from any suffering. He was a strong man with a wonderful attitude about life. He will be greatly missed.
