Not sure what to say?

Love you dad,

It's been almost 3 months. I think of you every day !
Weather is getting warmer and a day like today you would have been on the Harley . You had a gypsy soul dad and adventure was always awaiting you. I know in heaven you are on the greatest adventure. Free from all that held you back in this life.

I served with Roger aboard the USS DIXIE optical shop just before his retirement.He always could make the best out of any situation, turn a bad day to good,a frown to a smile.

Erin we send you and your family our deepest sympathy in the passing of your father. Know that he will always be near you, watching and loving you always.

Your long battle is over.
You fought the good fight.
You will be sorely missed.
Rest In Peace my brother.

A message to Roger from Doug:Tomorrow, the dawn will break clear and bright.The sky is clear,The wind is fair.The sea is calm. Cast off the lines that bind you to this world. Set your sails to full and by. And wait for us on that distant shore.

Noelle, My deepest sympathy to you and your family on Roger's passing. May your cherished memories help you through this difficult time. Pat Huebner

Dear Noel, my cousin Mike passed this on to me.
Please accept my sympathy to you and your family.
So many old memories. Your marrage was two years longer than ours is now, we sure knew how to make it work.
RIP Roger, may he be at peace.

So sorry for your loss Noel.
Mike and Sandi Matusak (your old neighbors on 6 Mile.)

Sympathy and love to Uncle Rog's family from Tom, George, Merrill and Frank
