A great friend to 3 generations of my family, Roger lived the most extraordinary grace-filled life. He is already missed.

I knew Rog through my relationship with my brother in law, Stu Fitch. And my sister, Nan Fitch. They were good friends from way back and included me when Rog came to Santa Cruz to visit. The four of us had a wonderful snorkeling vacation together in the Dutch Antilles.
Roger was an amazing man, so dedicated to social justice and equality for all. He combined his law practice and his ministry as a priest to serve many who were disadvantaged and in need of an ally.
He served quietly, with no fanfare or attention to himself.
I talked last to Rog when my sister called him to say good bye the day before she passed. That was in March 2015. He was envious of her and said he was ready to go. So he had to wait two more years. Now he is free after a life of caring and service. Good bye, Rog. It was a privilege to know you.

Rog was my godfather, Uncle Rog. My dad, Stu Fitch went to Stanford with him, CDSP and also had missions in Utah at the same time. We saw him on and off through the years. He came to my wedding. My brothers and I were just wondering about him when we were in LA recently for another memorial. So sorry to hear of his passing.
