Not sure what to say?

He was a good man and I am sorry to hear of his loss.

Dear Carol, Jeff, Kathleen and Heidi, I just learned of Rodger´s passing. First let me say how deeply sorry I am for your family´s loss. May the Good Lord heal your pain and comfort you in the knowledge you will be reunited with him in heaven. I regret having lost touch with Rodger in recent years. At one point our Christmas cards to your email address started bouncing back, and I didn´t know how else to reach out until I found your Legacy link. I have such fond memories of...

I worked with Roger at WOR. A real professional and very talented! Roger, RIP my friend!!!

I was saddened to hear about Rodger´s passing. He was a wonderful person and a great radio voice. I worked closely with him at WOR and was blessed to take his place as WOR Morning anchor on Rambling with Gambling, when he retired. I have many memories of my time with Rodger; from those after work drinks at Giggles and TGIF, the overnight stays in the city for snow storms, his stories about riding his favorite horse "Irish", and a great fishing trip he hosted for me and my son...

While living in Stirling, NJ, his family were very active in the New Providence Presbyterian Church. Such a joy to see him there, as we always listened to Gambling. Drove past his house when the flamingoes were there, so funny! My sympathy to all the family.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Rodger Skibenes. I remember listening to him every morning on a rambling with Gambling.

Jeff , Heidi, and the Skibenes Family, Sending our condolences your way and keeping you all in our thoughts. Remembering meeting your Dad just once and the great impression he made on us in the short period of time of the visit. He was a true gentleman.

To carol. As you know I always enjoyed and teased Roger when we were on the radio. He had a great sense of humor and was so easy to work with! I missed our time together. He always seemed so content. I´ll never forget the pink flamingo bit. Got some mileage out of that. God bless Roger and all the Skibenes. John gambling

may you Rest In Peace.
