You were a good man from a wonderful family. I will always remember you. That is what I would tell him if he were here.

Grew up down the alley from Roger and family in the Heights. While he was 4 years older than me, he treated me like a little brother. Spoke with him a couple of years ago and each brought back many memories. One of which was when he had a fuel injected '58 Corvette that caught on fire and helped him put the fire out with sand and gravel. Another was shooting hoops at the Anderson back board. He helped make me a better shooter. Will be missed.

Anderson Family, I knew Roger and his brother Doug, through association with their father's contracting business. They both were very bright and talented individuals. Enjoyed listening to Roger describe the customs of those he worked for overseas, many years ago. May God grant him a peaceful eternity.

Remembering Roger from growing up in Muskegon Heights. We attended school together and classes, graduating in 1963. Also we were confirmed together at Bethlehem Lutheran Church. His warm smile and personality will be remembered forever. My prayers and condolences to the family.

Brother Roger was very active in the Lodge and very friendly. His smile lit up the clouds over the heads of us all. I also miss seeing him on Sundays when he would bring his mother, Dorothy, to worship services. Our whole congregation said a prayer for him every Sunday at Dr. Martin Luther Lutheran Church on Hile Rd. We will all miss him.
