To the kindest heart we know. The years you live with us were some of the happiest times ever. Whether it was to listen to our complaining or a shoulder to cry on, you were always there. We couldn't have asked for a better person to share our life with. You always made time for others. You were always there to lend a helping hand. We will miss your smile. But no more pain. Only love and happiness. And that's what you deserve. You are a great father, brother, brother in law, uncle and friend. We will miss you terribly. Rest in peace Roger.
Sam, Carol, Mary & Tommy
