Roger L. Tarala

great person very positive

Thank you Coach for believing in me. At times when no-one else did. Your memory is alive and well with me, my friends and my team mates. I went on to become a band teacher. I'm at a high school football game right now thinking back on my Thornridge days under your coaching on the field. I teach middle school so I'm watching some of my former students on the field and in the band stands. I also coached Basketball and Wrestling, giving these kids the same that you gave us. Your all. Thank you...

Oh, dear Papa T, if you could only understand how deeply I miss you!

You had unwavering trust, faith, and belief in me. You were receptive to my love. Your actions spoke volumes—your eyes didn’t discriminate based on the shades of our skin. Your unconditional love and kindness made me feel special and worthy. You embraced me as if I were your own child. You entrusted your most precious gift to me, and I will never deceive you. Because of that, I am eternally grateful that our paths...

Coach T, what a powerful man you were to so many people. I'm so so proud of you. And you know what, I don't think you Roger Tarala knew that. I will miss you. I promise you, we will meet again. My sympathy goes out to the whole family, especially his kids and brother Greg..

My condolences to Roger's family, so sorry for your loss!

The angels are bringing you home you will never be forgotten and always be remembered. I finally found you only to find out Im to late. May God rest your soul. Love always...Dianne Vogel.

He was always such a pleasant man when he walked into room 111. Always had a smile! He will be missed, praying comfort for all the family!
