Not sure what to say?

It has been along while since standing beside you smelling the nitro. I can remember like yesterday I would be at your house after school and help you load up the car. We would both head over the mountain for the drag strip. Everyone else would follow later. Had alot of great times. I have started building two model cars. Front motor and the rear motor car I do hope that I can complete them before my time to see you and the rest of our families. RIP my love, Tim

14 years since you left us Roger, Not a day goes bye that I don´t think about what you Taught Troy and I. Definitely missed and will always be remembered. Rest In Paradise buddy, See you on the other side Roger.

It´s been ten years since you left us. I Think About you James and Chuck often. Rest In Peace Roger.

I just found out about Roger coburn. He will be greatly missed. Like what my cousin's Tim and Jim Jameson said about him. I remember Roger when i was kid. When my uncle Erine and my dad Charles Jameson Would take me out to the race's. He will be greatly missed

Thanks you uncle Roger for being who you are.

Honored to be able to attend the services for one of the men who seared the dream of drag racing into my (then) seven-year-old mind. His humility made his accomplishments all the more impressive. With enormous respect. W-C-M fan since 1973

i will miss you grandpa thanks for being the best

After reading Roger's friends' comments about him, and many tears, snot rags and reminising about the past, it is hard to express the hurt in my heart when I think about Roger passing away. He wasn't supposed to ever die as most of us believe our loved ones shouldn't. It's the same feeling as when my sis, Shirley passed. The things that stick in my mind about Roger is that he was really the person that all the people in the "Guest Book" wrote about him. He was always like a big brother to me...

Thank you Roger for being my friend!
I was privlaged to spend a lot of nights in the garage on Lum Ave.
We will all miss you!
