Roger and I met more than 50 years ago while I was a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol and he was our unit's Vehicle Maintenance Officer. I learned a lot from him about automotive repair and upkeep.
Margaret - Denise and I have valued the friendship between our families for all these years. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

“Top” set the standard for dedication and duty. He was responsible for me serving on Active Guard status. He acted in the “troops” best interest by deflecting all the bull so that we could train and perform. He could repair and fabricate equipment and write computer programs. He was a jack of all trades and modern day renaissance man. Only the best memories. My sympathies to Margaret, Alan, Gwen, and their families.

Roger, we came a long way together. We were Civil Air Patrol cadets together; we worked together in the exhibits business, and we were in the Maryland Army National Guard together. Rest In Peace My Friend,
