Thinking of you and your family Diane. Roger was a good guy. I believe Roger is in heaven with my sister (and your best friend) Barbara watching reruns of the Sonny and Cher Show like you guys used to do when you first got married. Sending good thoughts and prayers your way. God Bless.

I was privileged to grow up across the street from the Wuestefeld family on Pershing Place. What a kind, wonderful family. I hope Roger enjoyed some retirement years. Me deepest sympathy.

Sorry to hear about Roger. Met Roger back in our high school days. I believe Roger was a year behind me in graduating. I graduated in 1966. We both worked for Don Hill And The Keyport Board Of Education with their work program. We helped get the Keyport schools in order during the summer recess months. Knew his Mom also since she was Don Hill's secretary. Roger and I got along real well.
My condolences to his remaining family.
