Sorry for your loss

Don's work with my family in the late 1980s led directly to my interest in pursuing an undergraduate major in agricultural economics at Cornell, which was one of the best decisions and greatest opportunities of my life. I learned so much as a Farm Credit Fellow, another program that Don shepherded for many years. Don's Farm Credit consulting / business advising work left an indelible mark on northeast agriculture. Many modern, multi-generational dairy farms would not have survived to this...

Don was a dear and good friend who we will miss greatly. He was a wonderfully loving husband, devoted and caring father and fun-loving, kind and proud grandpa.

Our deepest condolences to his wife Rosemary, his four children and five grandchildren..

May he Rest In Peace.

Don Rogers was a sincere and dedicated man to every cause he touched. Thousands of farm families in the northeast benefited from his knowledge and expertise as he helped to improve lives and farm businesses. Don was a true innovator and leader in bringing top quality farm business consulting to so many. My condolences to his family

Don was an innovator and an outstanding professional, but an even better person. I will never forget the excellent, brutally honest feedback he gave me after the first program we did together. My condolences to Don's family.

I considered Don a great friend. Condolences to all.

Dear Rogers Family,
My sincerest condolences on your loss.
Respectfully,
Chris Carey

With deepest sympathy during this time of difficulty.
