Roger Gamblin Obituary
Gamblin, whose Flagler Title Co. once was one of the nation's largest writers of title insurance for commercial properties, was returned to Florida and appeared on Jan. 5 in federal court in West Palm Beach, suffering from heart problems and other maladies.
While awaiting his next hearing, Gamblin, 62, whose pacemaker led to his arrest, was hospitalized several days ago at Wellington Regional Medical Center. He died this morning about 11 a.m., said his attorney, Richard Lubin.
"He's been very ill for many, many years with a series of complicated issues interrelated to each other, and his heart just couldn't do it anymore," Lubin said, adding that federal authorities granted Gamblin's wife, Peggy, permission to visit him on Wednesday night.
"The family and I are forever grateful that the marshals and the sheriff's department made arrangements for Peggy to be brought there, and she spent some time at his bedside before he passed."
Peggy Gamblin, who faces the same federal fraud charges as her husband did, was in custody at the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office stockade when Gamblin died.

I worked for Frank with the Platnium Group for only one year, but Roger was the one that OK'd my being hired. He was the most descent human being I'll ever hope to meet again. Peggy, you probably don't remember me, but I remember you. My heart is heavy for you and what you must face, but know that there are scores of people out there who believe in you. Thanks for the wonderful memories I had working at Flagler Title.

Dear Gamblin Family, It has been many years since I spoke to Roger but I knew him from the 70's. He was always there to help and close the impossible deal.
Hope to see you some day in the future and we can all have another great laugh together. May God bless your family ad give them the strenght in these times.

Dear Peggy and Family, Roger will truly be missed. The years past so fast that it is hard to believe I knew you all for over 12 years. As you you know Roger was a very special soul. Peggy and Roger did so many incredibly kind things over the years. His kindness and caring were out of the realm of most people. He was there for me many times, especially when I lost my Father. I prayer he is with G-d (He deserves to be) and in peace and I pray that everything will go well for all of you.

We are here when you need us always.

I remember Roger as a kind and wonderful person to work with back in the 70's when we relied heavily on a friendly staff at an awesome title company for a great part of my real estate career. Though we lost touch, I've always remembered Roger and Peggy fondly. My prayers go to you both.

Dear Peggy and family,
There are no words to express the deep loss I feel. Did not know about Roger's passing until today.
Roger was my friend and no matter the circumstances, I will always remember him, and you Peggy, as true and dear friends. Thanks for all the good you both did, and for your total commitment to helping make the Title business a better place for Agents. That will never be forgotten.
Peggy, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help make this time a little easier for you.

I only knew Roger briefly and I am very sorry to hear of his passing. Peggy, I know how much you've endured these last few years and my heart goes out to you. My prayers are with you and your family.

I will be forever grateful for Roger giving me a shot at learning the title business. After leaving Flagler I continued in the field for several years and without the knowledge I learned from there this never would have happened. My prayers are with his family and I will always think of him as the kind and generous man I remember.

I worked for Roger and Peggy for ten years and always knew them to be understanding and supportive. I learned more about the title business from them in the years I worked there, than anywhere else. Roger wanted us to be the 'best' and he was willing to share his knowledge and expertise and make us the 'best'.
I am saddened to learn of the circumstances that led to his ultimate demise and wish that Peggy has the strength to get thru what lies ahead of her. I will always remember them both fondly and all that they did for me.

Dear, dear Peggy,
Nancy, the girls and I are devastated at your loss, at all of our loss, of a great husband, father, grandfather and friend. We are comforted (but just a little) by the fact that you had opportunities to visit with him and are now close to friends and family for support. May G-d walk at you side, as I walk with you in my heart. With boundless love to you.

I live in CA and just heard of the Gamblins fate of the past few years. I learned everything I know about the title industry from the Gamblins when I was hired at 18 years old. I am truly grateful for the opporunity and experience that made my career. Peace be with Peggy and your family, you are to this day one of the strongest and loyal women I have ever met.

Having worked with Roger until the end..I don't believe he saw himself as a folk hero in death. He was human. Peace to you Roger, your family, Peggy and all those hurt at the end. I pray for a healing for all.
