Roger was a long time close friend of my father, Paul Lockhart, who was the attorney for Eugene Constantin. My Dad always respected Roger and appreciated his knowledge and work ethic. I had the opportunity to visit with Roger in recent years at the Galaxy stockholders meetings. He will be missed, and our prayers are with his family and friends. Jim Lockhart
