Roger Fega

I knew Roger only briefly in 1970 in Phoenix,AZ. He made a strong impression on me. I wish I had been able to know him longer.

My sad condolences to Cynthia, Alison, Maddy and Stevie.
Roger and I enjoyed many hours together listening to jazz and talking about life. We would meet in his living room in Amherst, his house in Ashfield or in the WMUA studio at UMass. RIP my friend. I think of you daily as I continue to listen to the ECM recordings you generously shared with me.

Roger was one of the first persons I came to know in our freshman year at Williams College. As a black American from Washington D.C., in my years at Williams I sorely missed the great soul radio that D.C. provided to me as a teenager. Roger knew or appreciated all the music that I loved and, in fact, passed on the R&B jams among the 45's with which his father kept him supplied in our college days. This kept me in touch with my musical taste in an area of the country which had scarce to...

Roger was a Williams classmate and we could all see free spiritism at its finest even back then. Roger was the man to have on your team for the Musical Trivia contests the radio station would run. He n'knew virtually EVERTYTHING there was to know about pop music. This included the "flip side" of every hit record. Those under 50 will have no idea what I am talking about.

RIP

Dear Fega Family - I was a classmate of Roger's at Williams. I recall him fondly. May your own memories of him bring you comfort in the days and weeks ahead. Bob Kandel

We send hugs and warm thoughts to Cynthia, and to Roger's entire family. We appreciated Roger as one of the guiding lights of Brookfield Farm and for his free spirit! So sorry we can't be with you at the memorial gathering today. Kelly Erwin and Warren Graham

Roger, I was shocked and saddened to hear of your sudden departure. Many jazz DJ's have come and gone in the Happy Valley over the past 40 years, but you were one of the best, and I'm grateful for the time you spent here. I'm gonna miss you, your generous and considerate nature, your music expertise, and that wonderful stentorian voice. Like your dad Mort, you were a music nut with a heart of gold. My condolences to the family. *******In the words of jazz poet Lord Buckley, "The flowers, the...

We are thinking of you all and sending you our love and prayers.
We will miss our spontaneous talks with him at Whole Foods, the Library or the nature trail.
