Roger Christman

Never too late to remember a great man. I have the highest respect for my uncle Roger. My mother, brother and I would have been homeless on more than one occasion if it were not for him. He may be the best man I’ve ever known. I learned what a real man looks like by observing him. My life is much better for having known him. I still think of him and he is missed. Much respect.

Saw a commercial about becoming a pipe fitter. Remembered Roger had gone to school for this. Shared with my wife about the time I spent with Roger after the service living with him and Denis. Brought back some special memories. Looking him up, was sad to hear of his passing 4 years ago.
God's blessings to his family.

We met Roger on a family vacation to Alaska in July of 1994. We were traveling with Jim Mrosla (a friend of Roger) to Fairbanks and North Pole AK. Since we were in the area Roger invited us to stay overnight at his home.(There were 10 of us!!) All together we ate salmon, talked a lot of his part of the world, and went fishing on the Tannana River. He showed us where his brother Denis had lived .Roger was kind and gracious. Although we only knew him for a day and a half we felt like we were...

Dear Christman family,
I am so sorry to hear of Roger's death. I will always remember how he teased Mary Beth and I when we were young teens. Always a friendly, booming voice - much like your dad. Take care.

You were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice in Vietnam. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE. Rest in Peace and Honor Roger.

Roger wasn't just a friend; he was always a friend when a friend was needed. He was always ready to repair something broken, chat a while, and look for a missing part, for a truck, car, or whatever. Once, he even drove five miles to Salcha School, and picked up my daughter for me, when our driveway was too muddy to get out...I know he is in heaven now, but was hoping we could visit one more time.

I was a neighbor of Roger for many years, he was always there to lend a helping hand, offer advice, or anything you needed. A quiet man who lived life simply and honestly. My condolences to his family.

You truly will be missed. Heart of Gold. God Bless

I still can't believe it's been almost a month since we've lost you. You have always been there for our family. I only wish I could have told you how much your support and encouragement has meant to me. You gave me a place to stay when I was lost and had no idea what I wanted to do. Not only did you open your house to me but to anyone who needed a place to crash, whether it was just for a night or much longer. You had such a big heart and cared for anyone who came into your life. It's hard to...
