Dear Penny,

Rumor on the street when I arrived in Owingsville, was that the town had a fine attorney who could, perhaps, walk on water. I watched carefully and never did observe Rog doing that. I soon discounted that story, as the ever-diligent Russ Metz was always on the scene for events of varying degrees of magnitude - and would never have missed such good front-page material. What I did observe was that your Roger was the ever-patient, caring, dignified, and knowledgable professional. Highly respected by everyone.

I want that you, Winifred, Pam, Hugh, and Peter know that I am among the folks who appreciated him immensely. I am so very happy that he had all of you in his life.

Pete,

Your Dad was such a great help to me when my own Dad passed as well as later on in trying to correct my birth certificate. I very much enjoyed the times we would finish business and just sit and talk. He was a one-of-a-kind gentlemen and will be missed. My sympathy to you, Winifred, your Mother and family.

To the family of the most honorable man that ever lived.

I had the pleasure of serving Mr. Byron for 9 wonderful years. He was very dedicated to his clients, family and friends. He will be truly missed. May God Bless you and comfort you in your time of need. Anyone that knew him should be proud to have known such an honorable man.
