Mr. Roller was my first boss in Accounting and is the main reason I am still in that field after 32 years. Thank you Mr. Roller for the guidance and encouragement. I wish I could have told you how much you influenced my decision to stay in accounting after all these years. You ARE a wonderful person. You're children should be very proud of you.

Homer's tantics will never go unforgotten in Noah's and Abby's eyes. The things he taught them to cause trouble will live on. It was truly an honor for our family to get to know him. There were many stories that were shared and many games of playing possum. He will have plenty of ice cream and coffee waiting for him at the pearly gates. The smiles and laughter will live on through these kids and I know that the pranks will continue on in heaven. Love you guys!

What an honor it was to know your Dad. What a great guy!!! Only wish I could have know him in earlier years.
He is now in a better place, and if I know Homer....he is giving everyone the business.

God is with you at this trying time.
God Bless you all.
