I am deeply sorry for your loss. I am greatful to have met Roger and I will not forget the kind, gentle spirit that was with him. Suzanne and myself are praying for your comfort and peace during this difficult time.

We were priviledged to meet Roger and Kate when they visited Randi and Pete in Thunder Bay. Roger impressed us as a quiet and knowledgable man, kind and compassionate. We are sorry for your sorrow and send blessings to all his family.
