Reflecting on the awesome times Randy and I, along with Roger and Arlene and their whole family would go pontooning on the Chain-o-Lakes. We would laugh and eat and drink all day. RIP dear friend.

There are times in life where you lose touch with those that have made a significant impact on your life that need recognition. Unfortunately it's times like these these, Mr. Guetzke was like the father I never had. God bless you Sir! And God bless all of the Family. We will never forget you or your family and the great times and generosity You gave me and my family. We are better people to have met you and your entire family. Rest in God's peace. You fought the good fight and have finished the race.

Dr. Mike and Mari Edwards and our four kids.

One of my favorite memories of Rodger was when he, Arlene, Jeff and Katie joined me at the New Dublin festivities for St. Patrick's Day. He was so excited to be a part of the fun, he dyed his goatee green! Lots of fun! That, was the Rodger I knew... A smile that could light up a room, and always a youthful spirit. He will be greatly missed, especially by those that new him at Rustic Woods Campground!

Roger was always about his family. Helping Jeff with so many things. I always enjoyed talking to him at the pool tournaments. He loved those little Granddaughters. He enjoyed all his friends at Rustic Woods Camp Ground. You could tell how much love he had for Arlene. He was always such a happy man with a smile on his face. He loved life!
