Roger's work and personality made me laugh. I discovered him through my parents, my father worked at the Plain Dealer, and my mother was an artist, when I was very young in the late early 1960s and 70s. I have many sketches and his unique engravings in my possession and enjoy them. Than you, Mr. Coast

I have just learned of Mr. Coast's passing. My mother bought several of his pieces in the 70s (perhaps from shows at Stan Hywet), and I still cherish them. Blessings.

I am so very sorry to hear of Roger's passing. He was an art show "buddy" for over 30 years and we are all going to miss him dearly at the shows. He was the sweetest man and such a character. Love and prayers to the whole family at this time.

I have nothing but fond memories of him as he was a very kind and warm individual with a great sense of humor.

It is obvious that Mr Coast's love was felt by all who knew him. May those memories warm your hearts and bring a smile to your faces. And may God's promise at Hosea 13:14 light your pathway to the future. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
