Not sure what to say?

Dear Roddy,
We loved you in life and will always have love in our hearts for you.
We can still hear your voice and see your smiling face in our minds.
It's hard to believe that you are no longer with us.
You have always been in our prayers and always will be.
Till we meet again someday,

My Dear Roger I can't believe you have made your transition. You have been a true friend and inspiration to all of those who have been privedged to know you. What a talented man you were! Thank you for your friendship and all of the creative challenges you took on for me. Those included so much from the early days of The Palm Springs International Film Festival, Nortel, GTE and your pioneering creative efforts promoting National Gay Television and Radio Programming.

My Dearest Roddy, for over 70 years I have loved you as a son. I have fond memories of you as a small boy resting in my arms. I have always been proud of your art work and that you gave me your first award winning painting which remains above my mantle. Our trips with Marty were fun cherished adventures and always educational. Especially, to view your international award for short films at the Library of Congress. I treasure the memory of holiday visits with you and your family. I love...

I will miss Roger always - a great friend and extraordinary person.

I don't know what to say excpet "what a guy!" For those of us who truly knew him it is an understatement to say that he touched many lives in a very special way and that is exactly what he lived for.
