Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your loss Kim, Joe and Emma. Rodger and Joy would go out for breakfast many years ago with several of us. Rodger missed Joy so much. Rodger would always say hi when I would be in our boat on the channel, and would ask if I caught anything. I have been missing him coming out to see me. Rodger told me to leave our boat at his place so we wouldn't have to go up and down a hill. He has always been so good to me and concerned about me. We have had so many wonderful...

With love to Kim, Emma & Joe. Sending our condolences in the loss of your father, grandfather, and as we called him “Rodge”. So many happy memories at Yogi Bear Jellystone Park and at his home on Silver Lake. Many great camping stories and adventures in Mears, MI. We were lucky to share so many fun times as childhood friends and then share that with Emma & Nora, our amazing daughters. We also strongly remember those Friday afternoons when Steve took care of his grass & spent time with...

Every time I ran into Rodger we had a 30 minute conversation about anything and everything. Trailside, Golden Inn, Deb's Cafe...it was always a joy to see his face. Other than that we really didn't know each other. I just knew he was out there and I'd see him again. Our paths haven't crossed much in the past couple of years and he has been on my mind for months now. Have been meaning to ask Erin or Cindy, "Have you seen Rodger?" And here I see his face, the one who always smiled when we ran...

My sincere condolences to you and your family. Losing a loved one is never easy, and I can only imagine the sadness you must be feeling. You have my prayers and sympathy as you go through this challenging time. Your dad will always be remembered for the love and happiness he brought into your life, and he will continue to live on in the hearts of all those whose lives he touched.

I am praying for you, Joe, Emma, and your entire family. May God be with your daddy as he rests with the angels.

May God bless you and your family in this time of loss. May you find peace in the quiet hour.

Sending prayers out to you and your family through this time of transition. Just know he is not gone but merely waiting for you all in a new beautiful place.

Please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of your father. I hope you have many family members and friends around you to share support and happy memories. My condolences.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Carrie and I are thinking of you.
