Not sure what to say?

Met Roger at many NEIYA Event but not lucky enough to sail the ice with him. But maybe I did, not knowing his boat/sail number. He was the most pleasant person where ever he was. I will miss him!

Sally, I'm so very sorry to hear about Roger. It was wonderful sailing with the two of you back during the 2010 Rendezvous here in Connecticut, and I enjoyed keeping in touch with him through the years. I'll miss our occasional chats and hearing about the two of you sailing #4096 "Ghost". On behalf of the Mariner Class Association, please accept my most sincere condolences.

In loving memory of a wonderful father in law. Our Christmas Eve won't be the same without you. We will always remember you.

I will always remember Roger for helping me out when I showed up at Webster lake with a old ,old DN that I picked up in Maryland. this was a start of a great friendship Roger helped me build a new DN the following summer and was always eager to help with whatever I needed I will always remember his great smile.
Sail On Roger!!!

Perfect good bye for a perfect friend and fello sailor!!!!..I dont think there will ever be a day that I dont think of Rog.....Until we meet again keep an eye out for all of us who love you..Rest and get ready for I heard the ice in heaven is always Black Thick and Smooth....See ya then .....

Sally,
My heart is with you.

Remembering great days on the ice with him. My wife still sails one of his DNS.

July 18 2019, A very sad day, I have known Roger for many years he was one of W. S. A' MOST VALUABLE ASSETS, always greeting old and new members with a smile, always there to help, teach, and promote sailing when asked to help, he did not know how to say no, even when he was busy with his own boats.
Roger was a pillar of the small boat sailing communiy and the Webster Sailing Assoc.,always there for the spring and fall work parties and involved in most committee meetings ready to...
