To the Hand Family. My sincere condolences go out to you. I knew Rodger many many years ago from Red Bank. Rodger and his brother, John were friends of mind. We would get together at school, Mechanic Street School, River Street School and Red Bank High School.
He lived a full and wonderful life, especially with family.
RIP Rodger.

Prayers to the Nancy and the entire family!
Roger was so happy and always had silly jokes. I remember the laughs at the boardwalk. He will be missed.

To Nancy & Family,
Please know that all of our hearts go out to you at this most difficult time - "we all feel so bad" - and as for our beautiful cousin Roger, it is with the most loving and most fondest of memories that he shall forever be so very deeply loved and so very proudly remembered!
Roger was truly one-of-a-kind! Open, honest, and loyal are the very first three words that came to mind while trying to pay tribute to this most incredible man "who always" so lovingly and so selflessly gave of himself to others! Roger just brought such total joy and happiness into everyone's life! We are all going to miss him sooo dearly! Until we meet again... rest in peace my friend.
Love, Allan & JoAnn
