Roger will be greatly missed. He was such a fine person to talk with and was concerned about others. I never heard him speak bad about anyone. I enjoyed talking with him and hope to continue being a friend of yours, Joyce.

Rogers will be missed by all the members of the McKay/Hayes,Willie/Armanda Lewis and John/Minnie Lewis Families and friends. When he married my sister Joyce, he became a brother to me and my husband Edward. He was a great uncle to our children and grandchildren. He was always a great supporter of our families and participated in every family reunion, weddings, birthdays, graduations, retirements and other family celebrations if at all possible. Rogers was dearly loved and respected by all of us. We stand United in support of his wife Joyce and their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and other family members during this their time of sorrow.
