It was so nice to see your face in my email this morning. It made me realize that I miss you and of course, mom too. I even told a guest at the lodge that was wearing a KC shirt, that my dad was from Raytown. He knew exactly where I was talking about.It made me think of all the Daldrups and my Raytown Bluejay sweatshirt. Miss you, Rog

I still miss Roger, and think, at times what a good influence he was in my life. From teaching me how to drive and change a tire, to how to manage my emotions and deal with life. Tough love was one of his ways, it taught me valuable lessons but I always knew it was because he cared for me and loved me. I miss your hugs and appreciate the good father and husband you were to me and mom. I hope to see you in the great hereafter. We´ll have some "carn" and hook up the "batry".

To the Daldrup Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

As a graduate of the U of A Counslor Education program I considered Dr. Daldruup to be one of the pillars of the program. I very much enjoyed my course work with him and always found him to be a caring and supportive person. He will be greatly missed.

Rogers was an amazing mentor, educator, and sprinkled the country with great counselors. I will always appreciate and cherish my time under his guidance. He changed many lives, directly and indirectly.
