Ralph Roger Lauter

Thanks for the many memories my friend. Your love for kids was evident through your years of coaching and leading and helping with our fund raisers at Cape Fear Optimist. We’re gonna miss you more than we even know right now. RIP Buddy!

I never thought I’d have to say goodbye so soon.
I never realized how many people you had brought together until today. Everyone had nothing but nice things to say about you, and it truly hit me that you were not only my grandpa, but a best friend to so many people.
I aspire to help as many people as you did without anything in return. I love you so much, grandaddy.

With deepest sympathy.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Some of the Best Times in my life, was building and Racing Drag Cars. And Roger was right there in the middle of it with me. The Great times and Laughs will never be forgotten ! Keep it straight my Friend !

I respected Roger, the most for being such a wonderful father and husband and kind and generous friend to all he knew. Roger was involved in all the kids sports and the community and all the while balancing the drudgery of a challenging and demanding business. My family is sad for our loss, but especially for Valerie, Trisha, R2, Nic, and grandchildren. Our hearts are with you all, Cary and Karen Bilich and Family.

So sorry to hear about Roger's passing.i knew Roger in school and lived down the road in castle Hayne then at the optimist club for years had some good times.
RIP my friend

Praying for the Lauter family during this time of beaverment .Bob Sarah and John Bonham.

Roger was always a bright light in my day. He loved to tell me jokes and picked on me relentlessly. I shall miss him oh so much. If I ever needed anything - he was always there. Valerie and Chuckie and family - I can’t imagine how your hearts must be hurting. He loved you all so very much. Hugs and love to you all!
