I've been out of town & just today heard of Roger's passing. I am heart broken. He was always laughing, smiling, and cracking jokes. Just to think of him makes me smile. Our families spent much time together while we were raising our kids in River Park. He was a good friend. My son, Ryan Olmstead, also has very fond memories growing up around Roger. My thoughts go out to Toni, Todd, DeDe, Sean, extended family and all others who loved him as my family did.
