I have fond memories playing baseball for DeWitt with Roger. He always was a kind person and supportive teammate. I'm sure these qualities were guiding principles throughout his life. My condolences to his loving family and friends.

I've known Roger since the 4th grade. We went through school together, played football, softball and basketball together. We worked at Consumers together, Roger was a long time friend and I will miss him. I'm very sorry to the family for your loss.
