Only the rocks live forever, but they never know love. Roger would say he got the better deal.

Even after this long , I think of Roger often , as he was kind enough to resurrect my carving of St Francis. I rarely walk by it, in my yard , that I don't think of Rog. Such a kind and sweet guy. He is missed.

Dear Debby and Chad, I was so sorry to hear of Roger's passing. He was a big influence in my life, and a kind, good man. I know you will miss him, but I hope you find comfort in the friends, good memories and the fact that he lives on in the many lives he touched. Please let me know when the memorial takes place.

Debby Chad and Family, Roger was a wonderful loyal friend and a really great man. The hole he leaves in our hearts is large, if golf cups were this big I would have never missed a put playing golf with him. Donna and I will miss him immensely but Roger and you will always be remembered and in our thoughts and prayers. Friday nights forever. Steve and Donna Greene

Debby, Chad and George, I will always remember Roger fondly. We had great experiences in designing, decorating and bringing various projects to life at La Posada. I remember him for his patience, thoughtfulness, and honesty. I will also remember him for being a good sport and someone with whom I enjoyed playing golf. I know many will miss him. My condolences.
