I worked with Roger for the last 4 years at YRC. I rode a scooter during the summer months and Roger would always joke around with me about it. Being new there Roger always had a smile and would help anyone who needed it. He had a gentle way when he spoke and a heart filled with kindness and compassion. It's not often in life that you meet such a kind soul. When he became ill he continued to come to work and was an inspiration to many. Although he will be missed by all...he is with God and waits to greet us all when our time comes. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.
