Roger and Ellen became dear friends over the years of tax help. My condolences to dear Ellen and your daughters. Roger was a remarkable man and a terrific singer in the Barbershop Quartet. My family knew him, and cheered him on during his law school days. May God's comfort be with all of you. A year is never enough...

I have just seen this sad news now, many months later, and am so sorry to hear of Roger's passing. Roger helped me handle the most difficult period of my life, over the course of almost a full decade, which involved settling the complicated estates of two family members. His expertise and calm presence were deeply comforting to me, and I am so sorry to learn he is no longer in this world. My sincere sympathy to his family. I will be donating to the Barbershop Society in his memory. He spoke to me on multiple occasions about his love of Barbershop Harmony.
