Roger was my mother's cousin(Enola McMannes) and he kept in touch with her right up until her death in 2007, at age 91, always encouraging her, and comforting her. A very kind and caring man. Sorry we didn't get to know him.

My memories of Roger, extend back about 45 years or so when I was a teenager. Marty was my best friend and Roger had just come onto the scene. Roger and Dorothy treated me like family. They took me to my first Pacer game (ABA, of course) and my first dinner at the Nashville House in Brown County. A lot of great memories for a lot of years.....
So sorry for your loss......

I never saw my cousin (Dorothy) smile as much as when she was with her Roger. He was always laughing and enjoying life to the very fullest. He truly was a blessing to her and Marty and he will be missed dearly. You and Dorothy are together again. Shirley Kaler

Roger came along about 1965, I was 15 and my dad had moved out of the house. Mom and Roger began dating and before long maybe a year or so later, they were married. Cool stuff started appearing around the house. Plus he had a fast car. He saved Mom and I in many ways. Good dad, good guy. I'll miss him. Marty
