I was saddened to learn of Roger's passing. I worked with him for many years at The Doraville Assembly Plant. He was always a person who gave his very best to his job and his fellow workers. We shared many long hot summer nights and frosty winter mornings as we worked production hours and final process afterward while were were assigned the night shift. He never complained and was greatful from the bottom of his heart for the opportunity to use his many talents. Roger will be missed by his many friends and co-workers, but will always be remembered by his smile, good nature, and helping attitude.

Rhonda,
Your Daddy was such a sweet man. I remember him coaching our little league softball team and how much fun he made everything. You all were so fortunate to have had such a wonderful father and grandfather! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am very sorry to learn of Roger's passing. It was great working with him at Doraville Assembly, he was definitely a dedicated manager, both knowledgeable and energetic - he had a strong work ethic. May God look upon everyone in your family in the weeks and months to come - I hope your good memories help you to heal as time goes by.
