Phi Alpha dear 'brother'

To Dolores, Kimberley and Pamme - I am so very sorry for your loss. Roger was not only a friend, he was an advocate for all of the residents in Albuquerque. He will truly be missed by all. My sincere condolences to you all.

A true gentleman and a scholar. It was a privilege to know Roger and work with him in The Military Conflict Institute. He will be missed.

So sorry to hear of Roger's passing. He was one fine Man and I am proud to have called him a friend. I am no longer in NM but will always have fond memories of Roger and his never ending quest to right wrongs and work hard for his community. RIP
