Not sure what to say?

We miss our friend Roger every day. Each day spent with him is a beautiful memory, especially all our travels together.

I sent a remembrance of Roger at the time of his passing,but THE HOYAS' recent national success ,I'm sure, would make him a very happy guy!RIP

I attended the Hoya/SU lax tournament win and thought how much Roger would have loved watching his legacy in our All-American goalie. His thoughts would've been priceless.

Roger was a wonderful friend,a great teammate and a man who will always be fondly remembered by his adoring family. A positive part of my history that I will forever cherish.

Roger was a great long time friend and a terrific lacrosse teammate.His sense of humor always led the way to the wonderful human being that he gave to the world.Miss you Roger.

Roger and I were college classmates, housemates, co-workers at Clyde's and members of the same DC National Guard unit. He was fun to be around, and always had a smile on his face. He was full of life, genuine and had a knack for being in the middle of the "action", whether it was lacrosse, cheerleading, the restaurant scene or anything social. May he always be fondly remembered by his family and friends.

Roger was my blue jeans wearing goalie on our college lacrosse team - a fearless competitor in the face of many a hard shot on goal. He also hosted memorable pig roasts. A good guy with a fine sense of humor. He will always be one of my fondest college memories. A good athlete and a great teammate.

We all have great memories of Roger. He was a wonderful loving husband to Betsy, his children and grandchildren. Always fun to be around. One of my fond memories was taking our teenage daughters to Cancun. We laughed the whole time there making sure our girls were safe and having fun. Rest In Peace Roger. Well all meet again!
