We have been neighbors for the last 15 yrs, and Roger was always so helpful. If we thought something couldn't be done Roger always had the answer and with a smile on his face. Anything that needed to be done he'd be there to help. We are so sorry for your loss and it just seems so unreal. We hope that he has found the peace that he was searching for and that his family finds the comfort to heal. Sending healing thoughts from our family to yours... The Sutton Family

You will be greatly missed. You were a great friend and always had our backs. We will miss watching you and Speedy play catch in the yard. We always left your house with our guts hurting because you made us laugh the entire time we were visiting! We will miss those visits deeply. We hope you have found some peace. You will be in our heats until we meet again!
