I remember Roger from my youth, when he and Diane brought the kids over to camp and spend time at the river with us. It was a wonderful time in my childhood and I remember him being a fun, laughing guy with lots of fishing stories. I send love and best wishes to the family, and condolences to Diane and my cousins. He will be missed, but i'm sure the rest of the family has welcomed him in heaven, and BOY, what a reunion party that will be! Peace and love from me and Trina. Tonia and Trina Dodd
