Yokley Family and friends,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. May God be with each of you, and ease the pain of the loss. I worked with Roger from 1981 till 1989 at RJR and remember him as a great person, and an all round great guy! You know when it has been that long since you have seen someone, and still remember him as being so nice,that is saying something! God Bless each of you!
