Roger Michael Reese

Every Christmas when they play carols I remember Roger singing at Beverly Vista

Roger was an important person in my life. We grew up in the same neighborhood just three blocks apart. The two of us were known for our pranks ! We thought it was fun but the neighbors had different ideas. In high school Roger continued his leadership gifts. His girlfriend, Jeanne, was my best friend. We were all a close group. Roger car pooled several of us in his "not so up to date" version of an automobile -------no back seat. Two in the front and three in the back sitting on stools...

Funny memories or rolling up to red lights on Wilshire Blvd. and trying not to stop before they turned green. I'll always remember him fondly.

Thank you everyone for your kindness and support. If you knew my dad, have a cup of coffee in his name. If you didn't, know that he was the best man I will ever know, and the only thing he'd want is for you to spend some time and smiles with the people you hold dear. And maybe the next time you need to hail a waitress, shout "NURSE!" for him, will ya?

Roger served as Assistant Scoutmaster, Advancement Chair and Merit Badge Councelor for Boy Scout Troop 121 based in Echo Park. He was a mentor and good friend of all our adult leaders and he was personally responsible for helping six of our Boy Scouts earn the Eagle Scout rank with his convincing salesmanship. He donated a vast array of camping equipment to Troop 121 and devoted countless hours to the troop teaching merit badge classes at his apartment in Hollywood. He will be tremendously...

Daddy, I love you. It is so neat to see all the people you have warmly told me about here. May you walk in the house of the lord forever. Thank you Ruben for, doing this for, us. Dadda I know you are with me, thank you for, being such an excellent guide. You are my happy thought and I am glad you are nor in pain any more. Congratulations on all your triumphs. Kisses

Like many of Roger's family and friends, I was saddened by his passing! I was privileged to carpool with him as a freshman at BHHS, with Jeanie Porter and Barbara Blair. He was also a good role model to me as a football player. Yes, he will be missed!

Like many of Roger's friends and family, he will be missed! As a lonely freshman, I had the pleasure of carpooling with him, Jeanie Porter and Barbara Blair. I looked up to him as a good role model and quarterback on the football team!
