Roger popped into my mind today and I wondered how he was doing. I am so sorry to learn of his passing just days ago. I was administrative support for the Red Lobster International group back in those days. We had a good group of people, including Roger. He was a pleasure to work with. My condolences to his family. (I was Sherri Hall then)

I am sorry for your loss. Roger was a great guy. I have been with him for the last 5 years and I felt like we were great friends. We had many adventures together. He was the subject of many of my photo shoots. He was such a great sport. I will miss him, but I have so many memories that I can hold on to. Peace to all of you.
