Roger Gideon Zener

Roger was "one of a kind" and I shall be ever grateful that he took the time to recruit me to Standard Insurance Co. Rest in peace Roger.

I just recently learned of Roger's passing. My sincere sympathy to Ditsy and his entire family.

Dear Zener family - I just learned of Roger's passing. It was a pleasure to meet him and to know all of his wonderful family. I have always admired the closeness of your family and I know that his kids and grandkids were the light of his life. I am sorry I missed his service. I am sure it was wonderful.
Love,

Ditsy,
Roger was a major influence in my success in the life insurance industry. I still use many of his pet phrases. I knew him as a professional and heard him speak many times. He had a great sense of humor and an infectious personality. Although I have not seen him in years, I feel the loss of his passing. I pray God will give you and your family the peace that surpasses all understanding. I pray your present grief will soon give way to the pleasant memories you enjoyed together.

Dear Ditsy! Dick sent me the article about Roger's passing. I am so sorry for
you and your family. I am sorry I could
not attend the funeral. You were blessed with a wonderful husband and children. I know your faith and sense of humor will get your thru this. Hugs to you all, Barbi

Dear Ditsy and Family,

I am saddened to hear of Roger's death. Roger had the unique ability to get you to look at things differently.
I want you to know that I'll be forever grateful for the interest he showed in me and for him introducing me to Standard Insurance Co. I met a lot of wonderful people like Roger there, and the experience at Standard enriched my life. Thanks Roger.

Dear Ditsy and Family:

Sally and I were so sorry to learn of Roger's death and are unable to attend the celebration of his life today. That's exactly what it should be....a celebration for an extraordinary man and life. He was a kind and generous person and a powerful role model and mentor to me throughout my career with Standard. He took the time when I was a new agent to teach me the right way to organize my business and take care of my clients and I will be forever grateful. ...

Sincere Condolences,

Ditzy and extended family, Roger was most influential in many of our lives both personal and the insurance careers.
I first met Roger in 1972 and then when I returned to Portland in 1984 he was most willing to assist in furthering the careers and lives of so many people with Standard Insurance but also those with all companies. He was truly an Ambassador.
Many fond memories.
May God's blessings be with all.
