Not sure what to say?

Dear Susie,
I have just learned about Roger's passing and am saddened that I didn't know sooner. I remember fondly all of the wonderful times we had together in medical school. Most especially his tremendous work on the sophomore show. My thoughts are with you, Rachel and Michael.
Much love

Peace and continuing comfort to Roger's family.

I'm sorry that I'm just finding out about his passing... wish I'd searched even earlier.

Since they rehearsed in my house for many years I spent endless hours watching Roger play in the Joe Kelly Blues Band and getting to know him latter. Keeping it short, great musician, great mind, great humor, great soul. A great lover of life, which can see hinted at even more so by the previous entries.

He was important in my life,...

I knew Roger well and from all ,y days at Parker. We just loved music.. One time we went to the Aragon Ballroon. To hear, who.? I think it was ,....muddy Walters? Paul butter field blues bank .? I think it might have been a really hot English band. Well we some how got onstage....(wasn't much of a stage) and snuck around the back. ..so we could have a really close place by the speakers. Nobody bothers us , so we g and stand in front f the speakers. You can surmise we were a little blown...

I'm so sorry to hear of Roger's passing. Although we never saw each other after graduating from Francis Parker I think of him fondly and know he is missed by those who were closest to him. My thoughts are with you.

Roger was a wonderful man, warm and friendly. I knew him for several years. I always looked forward to our tax appointments. He will be sorely missed.

Roger was my first "friend" in life. I put it in quotes because we were both infants. Our mothers, Jennie (mine) and Sybil (his) were best friends and when Jennie used to visit Sybil she would deposit me in Roger's crib. Jennie and Sybil were both highly sophisticated, intellectual, somewhat zaftig redheads. Rog and I fought, pulled each other's hair, cried. Years later, after Jennie tragically died, Roger and I reunited in second grade at Parker. I became fast friends with Paul Holleb,...

I will always have fond memories of Roger, and of his parents, from our days at Francis Parker. Please accept my deepest sympathy. He was a lovely person.
