From the first interview until the day I left Tax-Air to chase a dream in North Carolina, I had never and still haven't met anyone as sincere, caring, honest, and truly interested in everyone and their hopes, dreams, problems, or opinions. Without hesitation he would drop everything just to say hi, or help guide you through any situation no matter how personal.
There are still times, like now, that I could really use the wisdom, guidance, and compsssion that always seemed to get you where you needed to or wanted to be.
Roger, you touched so many lives in ways few ever could. You'll be in my thoughts and heart always.

My condolences to Lee and Barb and the rest of the Jacobi family. Sorry I am unable to make the service as you did at my brothers passing. It meant a lot to me.

Roger and I went to school from K-12 and I have only the fondest memories of him..and the many hours he spent teaching me the basics of piano...and so glad he did...was enough that I sailed through my required 'piano classes' to become a kindergarten teacher. Condolences to his family.

Rog will truly be missed. Some of my fondest memories of Roger were from the Tax-Air Christmas parties when he would put on his slide show from the previous year. Rest In Peace my friend
