Roger, Pat, Kelly & Scott :
Please accept Our deepest
sympathy and heartfelt condolences
on the tragic loss of Roger. We loved
Him as a son-in-law, but treated Him
like Our Son. Many words could be
used to describe Him, funny,happy go lucky, hard-working, the list goes
on. I will always cherish the weekend
fishing trips, and the great times We
would have. Hey Buddy "squat and
leave it".
