Kathy, I am deeply sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family. May you be comforted to know that it's not forever and you will see Roger again in the clouds when our Master comes to get His people from this world.

We are better people for having known Roger. The occasional lunches and witty discourse about current events and reminiscing about the "land of ZA" will be missed. He was an inspiration to how we worked and is an inspiration to how we live.

Bob,



Although I only met you a few times, I found you to be a warm and fun person. I would have liked to get to know you better. You and Kathy had a wonderful partnership that I admired. And Ross? Dang! You did good! Have a safe journey and find much-deserved peace.

There has always been a place in my heart for my much loved nephew, Roger...and there he shall always remain. I join the family in this loss, but celebrate his life, as well. He will be greatly missed by us all. With love, Aunt Doris
