Was not aware of Roger's passing until now and i am so sad to hear this news. Brings back so many memories of what a good man he was. And a man that was fun to be around. The years of laughter shared. My condolences and love to Claire and Roger's family.

I was saddened to hear of Roger´s passing. He was a man that could go into a dark room and light it up. He had an infectious personality. I learned so much how a person should act towards others during those growing up years. Roger to me always put others ahead of himself. What a great example to follow in life for everyone. Roger was our golf coach and one of the things he would tell us before a match is if you win you eat steak if you lose you eat hotdogs tonight I never forgot that. I pray...

Roger had a way of bringing a smile to a person's face. He was pleasant and caring. Roger appreciated your hard work if you were fortunate enough to work for him. Blessings to the VanderLaan family. I am sure Roger will be missed. Jack & Karen Cichy
