Joe M. Rogers Jr.

To the Rogers Family:

I knew Joe through the boat races with the SDBA. As Ron stated above, I did not hear about his death until a few days ago and was deeply saddened. I was the staging manager for the SDBA for several years and the impression left in my mind is of Joe and Kyle Walker and their "ritual" when Kyle went to the water. Without saying a word, I knew, as did others, when to step away from the boat and let Joe finish strapping Kyle in to the boat and give him the last...

Deana,
Just wanted to tell you how sorry I was to hear about Joey. I did not know about it until Dragboat Review came out. Really enjoyed the weekend at Marble Falls last summer when I got to talk to him and hang around most of the weekend with you & him. Joey was a special person, always friendly and someone I looked forward to seeing at the races. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him and respected him. Hope to see you sometime in the future.

Joey was my grand-son by marriage. He had an infectious smile and a special laugh. The Roger's family and my family have been the best of friends for over 50 years. I know Deanna and her children will miss him as he was a wonderful father and husband.We will meet again in the future and reminsce about old times. We loved you Joey,
and and will look after your prized possessions. Al & Donnie Adams

Diana and Family,
My heart is with you at the loss of your brother. May God comfort you and keep you close.
