Not sure what to say?

Today would have been our 33rd Anniversary. I miss you. Words cannot express how much you are loved and missed.
You will always be in my heart . Memories ....Honey Bunny XOXOXO

I found Roger to be a kind and genuine person. Getting to know him and learning from him was always an interesting experience. I enjoyed conversations about hiking more than work conversation. A true friend.

Roger and I worked closely together for many years at Advance Auto parts.
Over the years we became more than just co-workers, him and his family became close friends with me and my family.
Roger was always the smart go to guy, you had a issue you couldn't figure out, go to Roger. if he didn't know, he'd dig until he got the answer for you.
i will miss our conversations about finances and any topic that came along.
Rest in Peace my friend

Continued prayers for Cindy, Chris and Matt as they navigate through this time of grief and sorrow. I think of you often and of Roger as well.

I was fortunate enough to work closely with Roger and I admired his wit, his kindness, and his attention to...

I was not ready to say goodbye to my nephew, my heart goes out to Cindy and his sons, Mathew and Chris. May Roger Rest In Peace.
So sorry that we are in Australia and wont be there for family support but our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My love and prayers are with Rogers wife Cindy, and sons Chris and Matt. We all loved him and will miss him greatly.

We worked with Roger at AAP for many years. He was a good man and will be missed. We will keep his family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Always enjoyed seeing Roger around work when he was at Advance Auto or out walking in the neighborhood with Cindy. My thoughts are with Cindy, Matt and Chris.
