I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. He was a great guy and I know that you were a very close family.
I hope that you find some comfort in the memories you have and know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dr. Roeder was always a very friendly and professional dentist. My family and I really missed him when he retired. It was a pleasure to know him.
