Roger was a colleague at the university of Illinois at Chicago for 30 years. I shall never forget his civil demeanor and empathy for anyone who engaged his attention. His skill as a teacher was legendary at the UIC. Frankly, I was envious of his ability to light up a student's eyes with a few well chosen words---usually a question.
He taught more than students.

Rest peacefully, my musical friend. You always shared integrity, kindness and love. With deep respect for a life well lived, Sallie Gordon.

I will forever miss his gentleness, his kindness and his generosity. Peace to you, my friend.
