Not sure what to say?

Thank you for the number of sketches of our Lord Jesus. Very special

Roger blessed our lives 23 years ago when he introduced us to Santos & family. Carol was the childrens school nurse. Because of Roger, we walked along side Santos family for many, many years. We were blessed to know Roger, such a strong Christian man, and enjoyed several visits to Rogers home. Golf was one of Rogers loves and Jack, my husband, was blessed to have played with Roger many times. The portrait of our three sons with Christ, and the Gainey Ranch water color, that Roger gave...

It doesn't seem possible that someone so eternally young at heart could be gone so quickly. Kyle and Laura, I'm sure that if your dad, mom, or BJ could have chosen, you would not have had to endure the heartaches the past 5 years have brought.

May the passage of time ease the pain now being felt by the Whitney family and Roger's wide circle of friends.

Roger was a kind man with a ready smile. We were the fortunate recipients of two of the wonderful portraits he did for Glendale High School's Student of the Month program. Andy's has been on display in our living room since 1995, and Jessica's since 1999. We look at them every day and appreciate the generosity of the man and his fine artistic skill. He will be missed. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family.

Our Sympathy to Roger's family. We will always have the fond memories of times spent with Roger. His sense of humor will always be in our hearts he will be missed by us and many others.

Rosalyn and all of Roger's family,
Jim and I have many fond memories of Roger, going way back to West D Avenue in Glendale!
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God give each of you the peace that only He can give.

What a special Christ centered soul who will be remembered here and enjoyed throughout eternity. Roger touched so many lives with tenderness and humor and beauty. Childhood memories of early Glendale with close friends that have endured through a lifetime. An extraordinary talent that has left portraits near and dear to all of us. A dedication to Jesus from high school Young Life meetings to work with the Rock that has planted seeds that live on in the hearts so many. A life well...

My thoughts and prayers to Rogers family. He will be missed but always remembered for his humor and love, especially to the Young Life family.

From the Miller's Mike, Patty, Colleen, Jeff, and Tim I wanted to say our deepest sympathy on your loss, My father and family will cherished the memories that we have been able to have over the years. Roger loved playing golf and I know my father loved playing golf with Roger and friends.
God Bless.
