I have happy memories of Roger and spent many hours with him working in the hay or splitting cookstove wood. He was a hard worker and went about tasks in good humor. He was a teacher to me and I am thankful for the experience. Please know I pray for his journey and I pray for you, the family and friends that remain. God Bless.

Roger was such a wonderful kind man. He was so good to Miss Harlowe and all the kids. I sure will miss getting to see him in the morning and evenings on the porch. We always looked forward to that part of the day. Our family send our love, hugs and prayers. We love you all.
