To Rodger's family,
I was saddened to hear of Rodger's passing, and my thoughts and prayers are for him and all of you.
Rodger was a good man, and he was always helpful in so many ways throughout our working career.
He was so knowledgeable had the natural ability to resolve the issues with a calmness that everyone appreciated. And his sense of humor, sarcasm, and insight for the ironic was unmatched, and enjoyed by all of us. Please take some comfort by knowing his kindness touched many and we will always remember him fondly.
