My sincere condolences to Helen, Jane, Sandy and Paul. I will always have good memories of Roger. Especially after Paul and I came home after a night of mischief. Roger would just shake his head and tell us we better be up in the morning to go to school. A good husband, and father. I'm certain Roger will be missed by all that knew and loved him.
