Bobbie, You and Roger have been such special, close friends for SO long! And how we have loved keeping up with families...and always making sure to be together whenever we got back to Chicago. Roger's frequent phone calls over the years, and recently have meant so much! What a beautiful, ethical, loving, faithful and caring man he was, having touched countless lives and making an impact on each person. Thankfully, he's left us all with wonderful memories to treasure forever. Sadly, we can't be there in person, but we send you and your family lots of love...and many, many prayers! Ken & Shonnie

Roger's never ending passion to assist Father Jack and Father Tom in making Old St. Pat's an exceptional place of worship and giving will never be forgotten. Roger led by example. I know the time Roger spent with us was at his families expense and we will forever be indebted to him and to Bobbie for sharing him with us. Thank you Roger we will miss you but you are in a better place. Tim and Mary Ann Keneally.
