So sorry to learn of Roger's passing. I just knew Roger a short time. He was my "Computer Guy". I still am using the laptop he refurbished for me, and it serves me daily. I will miss Roger, he was a decent, stand-up, quality human being. We had a few good laughs together; he was a kindred spirit as I too am a Vietnam Era Veteran. God Bless Roger, he is no longer in pain, and bless the grieving family.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to Roger's family, so sorry to hear of his passing. Roger and I were classmates at FSK, both graduating in '71. I like the picture of Roger with his baby (I presume) sleeping on his chest.
