I knew Roger years ago when he (and I a few others) shared a farmhouse in Waddle, PA. I had a big garden and would be into the wee hours canning and freezing the harvest. Roger would perch on the countertop and we would talk about so many topics- our lives, relationships, school...Roger was an incredible person. I was moved to look him up because as you go through life you remember really good, genuine people. I am so sad he passed, way too soon. Rest In Peace, Roger.

Roger was a great and honorable man who served his nation and state with dignity and honor. He always had a smile and went about performing his duties with dedication. He left behind a large group of friends in RED HORSE, his Air National Guard Squadron, and he will be remembered always as a patriot and fellow airman.

'So saddened to hear of Roger's passing. He was always so sweet, temperate and polite...a perfect gentleman. I never heard him say an unkind word to or about anyone. My deepest sympathies to the family. God speed, Roger.

How sad to hear of Rogers passing. May he be comforted by internal peace.

Roger advanced our scientific understanding of mine drainage issues and remediation techniques with a quiet competence that was instantly credible with the public and professionals alike.
His legacy is not only a significant body of knowledge, but hundreds of miles of restored streams throughout Pennsylvania and wherever there is mining.
