Rosey was a gentle soul with a bright light that shone especially bright when he was on stage with his saxophone. Thank you Roosevelt. You are missed. The Dynatones

I had the opportunity to play with him a few times, and will always remember his warmth and sincerity, and was blessed to have known him. Dennis Gwynne.

Rosey influenced a lot of people in the music industry and I worked with him at Jeep. I was introduced to Rosevelt by Jerry Hamilton his neighbor. May God comfort the family during this period in time!

Dearest Lord,
You know and understand all things.
You know that someone very special has just lost a loved one, and needs Your strength and comfort now.
Please surround this dear family with Your loving presence.
Guide each step of the road ahead, and by Your grace, grant them faith that brings peace of mind and heart, and the hope that washes all sadness away-today and in the days to come. Amen

I am saddened by the passing of one of Toledo's greatest. I had the pleasure of photographing his gigs at Murphy's and was impressed by his sound and kind personality off stage.

Had the pleasure playing music with Rosie last couple years, didn't know him well but felt like I connected with home musically. I played off him and he would play off me. He would sometimes give me a look that said, "Jump in on this" and I gave him a look back that said, "I'll try". Some great times!
