Roger Hack

I haven't seen Roger in around 60 years. I have thought about him countless times, and fondly. He did try to keep me on the straight and narrow. I remember he had a storefront on Fullerton Ave. where we would hangout and talk about anything and everything. He would even take me a my friends out for sandwiches. We were poor kids and he was the kindest man I have ever met. [email protected]

I met Roger for the first time May 1, 1969 when the railroad we worked for brought me to Chicago. It didn't take me long to learn that Roger was a believer and we formed a lasting friendship as brothers in Christ.

Roger, we will miss you while we live in this old world, and precious memories of you will sustain us, until we too go home to Jesus Christ. See you later....

Roger Hack was such an encouragement to me as a young person. I attend Community Free Church of Logan Square in Chicago where he attended and would always remember him with a positive outlook in life despite circumstances. He would always tell me to "Keep Looking Up". He was a very Godly man and I have lots of good memories of him. I was able to pull out some old video of him and posted the link to it off our church web site. There is a link on the home page to the video.

Uncle Roger lived his life according to his belief in Jesus Christ, as his Savior. I say, he lived his life from his heart.

Most people live their lives from their past or future.

Roger was his own person. Not just a person like most of us, but someone who lived and loved the Principle of Jesus Christ.

Roger’s crusade was beyond the family’s understanding, but I can reassure you, that we knew what he believed. His belief was simple,’To accept Jesus Christ as your...

My teenage years at the Logan Square Free Church were made more meaningful by Roger's friendship and devotion to young people. He lives on in the lives of all he touched. He will be missed.
