Dear Angela, I am saddened to see that you lost Roger at such an early age. I have just learned that Roger was so very revered by many persons who were touched by his many accomplishments and personal associations. I wish you and your family all the best. Harold Blesy, St Joseph, MI

Angie and family,
Sue and I were saddened to learn today (3/28) of Roger's passing. I actually learned the news while at the Barber shop in EGV. He will be missed by all who knew him. We actually tried to find your house when we last visited Batavia only two months ago. Now I wish that we had persued the effort more vigorously.
He was a bright and gifted guy and totally in love with you and his kids. I"m sorry that we failed to keep in contact the last ten or fifteen years. But, time...

I was deeply saddened to learn that Roger Johnson had passed away. Though I worked with Roger at Alexian Brothers Medical Center over 20 years ago, he's not a person one easily forgets. He was a big guy with a light touch, and it was always a pleasure to be around him.
My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and to your family.

My mother worked with Roger, Dean, and Lois back in the early 1980s. About once a month, they would come over to our house for dinner, while I, a young teen, would choose to stay in our TV room and eat.

My deepest sympathy to the Johnson family on your loss. I knew Roger professionally for many years and was always impressed with the concern and respect he showed to everyone he worked with.

Roger, was my father's first boss back in 1973. My father was Robert Skoda and when he passed in Oct. 06' Roger had only the nicest things to say about him. On the flip side my father always spoke very highly of Roger. Roger was a great friend and had a profound inpact on my fathers life. He will be missed dearly.

To Roger's Family:

You were blessed to have him as your husband, father, grandfather, son and brother. Like many others in the HR field, he was a colleague, but also a leader and guide. And he sure could make us laugh!

So saddened to hear of his passing. Roger will be smiling and chuckling at us from his new holy home.
