Audrey and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. In knowing you all since I was a child, it saddens me to know the loss you are feeling now. Cherish all the wonderful memories you have had. Know that Roger is in a much better place now.

I've known the family for 27 years. Roger was a very warm and friendly person. He had a wonderful sense of humor, and beautiful singing voice, which I heard many times :)
He will missed. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all, now and always.
May your memories bring you happiness.
