I am very sorry for Michelle and her family. Roger was a great guy and i enjoyed spending the time I did with him. I never got to see Roger in the out doors, I did have the oppertunity to go to his home and to a Gonzaga Basketball game with him, witch was alot of fun. I did hear alot of great stories about fishing and hunting and had plans to go with him. I will do anything I can do to help the family, feel free to call and ask at anytime.

My Son Jim grew up with Kevin and they were the very best of friends...always together, either over at Kevin's house or Kevin would be at our house on Gordon & D Street. Many wonderful memories of those times...Roger was a wonderful man and I really appreciated his and Loretta's friendship and the time they spent with Jim when he was over there to visit. My love and condolences go out to the entire family. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! God bless you all. Betty Oliver (Parker)

I had the pleasure of getting to know Roger and Michelle while camping at Priest Lake, ID at Kaniksu resort. I always thought he was such an amazing man, always willing to lend a hand and a kind word of how to do it the right and careful way. Roger was always a little bear cub who but thought he was a lion. He touched the lives of all he came in contact with, weather you had the opportunity to go fishing with him in his boat, Hunting at there favorite spots or just sitting and having a beer, or sitting around the fire listening to Chuck Norris jokes. You had the chance of meeting a legendary man. Roger will live on in all our hearts, will be with us while we are camping at Nordman, Fishing on the lake, Hunting with the guys, or while we are Partying on the pontoon boats listening to Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson. We will all miss you so much, and your memory will live on forever in all of us.

Was so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Roger at McKesson and always looked forward to seeing him. His knowledge ot the workings of the company and union keep me out of trouble more than once. I enjoyed just hearing the hunting and fishing stories he would tell, he had a way with words that made every story fun. Please except our condolences and know he will always be remembered by us as a friend. Terry and Don Young
