Vicki,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Roger always said that if it wasn't for you he would have never known what "happy" was. You were truly the love of his life. I am so glad you found each other. You were both blessed

Roger always had a smile on his face and always spoke to you. He towed alot of my cars in for me and fixed them as well. He will truly be missed. The dash between his dates was his living testimony.

I am saddened to hear of Roger's passing. We were good friends in high school. Roger, Terry, Dean, and myself, were always pulling pranks on each other when we were school "custodial engineers". Rest in peace my old friend. You left us way too soon.

Roger and I had some great times cleaning up ole Hildebran High. My favorate Roger saying was,"Rudisill, it's wonderful, just go to the bank and sign your name and they give you money." Although we didn't keep up, it was understood that we were life long friends. Praying for Roger's family. God Bless..

We think that maybe Jeremy was one of the first to meet you as you entered through Heaven's gates. He was always much by your side as a little fellow. And to this day we still have his wrecker.

You are with the lord now. I am thankful you are not suffering anymore. I will always remember how you made me laugh when you called the store impersonating Eleanor and the many other characters you did. My staff and I laugh just talking about it. Whenever we needed a good laugh, we could always count on roger. I am praying for your family. You will be truly missed. Rest in peace my friend......
