Not sure what to say?

Rodger was an incredibly good person. He achieved so much during his lifetime. He always attempted to do the right thing. We remember him fondly when he was Mayor. A Life well-lived. Rest in Peace, Rodger.

I am so sorry to hear of Rodgers passing. I'm just now finding this out. I used to work at hyho restaurant and remember him coming in. Such a wonderful human being.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Always kind and helpful to our people... thank you Roger for your giving attitude. Prayers and appreciation for the Cook family

Rodger and I were roommates at that first-ever Shrine All-Star football game at ISU. Though i was from SWC rival Collinsville and we had competed very hard against each other our senior year, we became friends. I remember his skill and power as a lineman and his hard work as Belleville mayor, so sorry to hear of his passing. Strength to Rodger's family

I grew up in the same neighborhood as Roger on North Bend Dr. great neighborhood to grow up in . We built our own Ball Diamonds , loved playing Sanlot Football in the rain and snow , which i was always lucky because Roger chose me to be on his team . I was a small kid growing up so Roger would say' Markie i'm handing the ball to you and you just follow me, nobody got in Roger's way so i scored a lot . nothing but respect for Roger, RIP my friend .

Deepest Sympathy to you Kennetha and Rhonda and family for your loss of Rodger. He was a great guy and a good friend. May God help you through this most difficult time.

I´m so sorry for your loss of a wonderful man.
