Being a member of this family and knowing Uncle Roosevelt has been an honor. He was an unforgettable man who loved his family and friends. He gave his all and he will never be forgotten. A piece of him lives with all of us. May all of his children, nieces and nephews, and all the children whose lives he touched forever strive to walk in his footsteps. Love forever and evermore.
