Sara, good to have such wonderful memories in these strange times. How are you doing? If COVID is ever under control, I look forward to a memorial in Seattle. Love, Toby

My Condolences on your loss of a GREAT man!! He did a wonderful job with King Street Productions!! May your family think of nothing but positive thoughts.

He was warm, funny, and brilliant. The Seattle film community mourns his passing.

Roger was a special unique human. Intellect, taste, humanity all wrapped together in an irresistible package. Sara, my heart goes out to you

Sara, you and Roger were a wonderful couple, sharing an enviable partnership. I did not know Roger well, but was aware of some of his accomplishments. Upon reading, I see that there were many more. You are missed, and he will be missed.
Love, Toby (Diamond)
