As a Flight Surgeon, Roger was dedicated to his crew, country and God. After the war, he was dedicated to his fellow man, country and God. And at the end of his life, he remained dedicated to God.

Uncle Roger, I only had the honor of sitting with you a few times due to the miles in between us; however, the time spent with you was precious and educational. The experiences you shared with me of your time in the service, and as a doctor will be forever remembered. I thank you for bringing such love, light, and joy into not only my Aunt's life, but to all of the family. With much love, Jenny Mae

My dear sweet Uncle Roger, I first met you when Barb was working for you. You became my Dr. and a friend. When you two were married I was excited for both of you. I was so pleased that Amanda was your flower girl. You fit into our family perfectly, stories, jokes, laughter, fun, and love. I loved being able to say "Hi Uncle Roger". Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life and your care. I will always cherish our time together. I will miss you very much. Take care of my folks and my daughter, and grandma til we meet again. You are very special to me. God bless. We'll take care of your beautiful wife until we all meet again. Leslie Vernon

Dr.T, I remember the first dau I met you many years ago. You will always have a special place in my heart as a doctor and a special friend. You were the doctor everyone needed. You were the friend who told wonderful stories but you also listened to mine. Thank you for always being there for me. Diane Shockey (Sun City, AZ)

You will always live in our hearts and prayers. I will miss calling the house and telling you that it's "Oreo" calling. Thanks for the wonderful stories and jokes, plus the love you shared with Barbara. That love will help her to find peace and hope for the future. Rest in peace with all of the animal crackers and glue sticks your heart desires!
