I worked with Roger for almost 10
years. He was the best leader that I have ever worked with. He was able to focus on issues and
compartmentalize problems when all around him seemed to be falling apart. His door was always open if you needed help. I have many great memories of Roger. Donna and I are so sorry for your loss. John Hasty
