Thinking of you Donna and family. While I did not personally know Roger, you and I had a "few" laughs at GC back in the day! Hugs.

Donna and Family,
So sorry to learn of Roger's passing. Still remembering the look and comment when I ran out of gas with both girls in the car on French Island...He stopped to help me...I felt so dumb and he encouraged me.
May he rest in peace. May you find peace in your memory of a man with whom you enjoyed many years and adventures.
