Rog, Thanks for all that you brought to my life! I will forever cherish the projects we completed together and particularly remember the "rake" incident at our first house in Hamilton. Love, Rick Y.

Being a friend of the family for almost 40 years, I would like to express my deepest sympathies. It won’t be the same as I drive by Roger’s house on Rural Street nearly every day looking to see if he’s out on the driveway so I can wave. Let the loving hands of God hold you, the presence of friends comfort you and your wonderful memories sustain you as you mourn a loss but celebrate a life. You are in my continuous thoughts and prayers…

My love forever,

Lisa, Weston & Family I was sorry to hear of Roger's passing and to learn he had lung cancer. May your sorrow be shadowed with comfort knowing he is not suffering anymore.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. Take care & God bless.
