Our Condolences to Phoebe Cole and Family. We are sorry we could not be at his service Saturday. It's been over 40 years since we last seen Roger. He was my supervisor for 16 years working at Webcrafters. He was a great Guy to work for and be friends with.
He was also very kind to take in my Horse Ryan, to live out his life at Rogers home in Portage. I always appreciated that! I know Roger will be Missed by many family and friends. Prayers sent to your Family.

My deepest sympathy to the Roger Cole Family. Roger and I go way back to March of 1972. I started working nights. I will say he sure was a jokester. He sure could tell the jokes. He was a good worker and I respected him as a foreman. I will never forget the parking lot parties after our night shift. I will be praying for the Cole family for strength to get through this. I will forever remember the good old times we had at Webcrafters.
