Dear Joyce, You don't know me, although we did meet in April 2013, when you and Roger came for visitation hours for my mother, Mary Kutina. You and Roger were kind enough to visit and offer your condolences for her passing. My dad, Ed Kutina, worked at GE with Roger. He always spoke fondly of him and you. He referred to Roger as "The Kid." And high praise from my dad was that "The Kid was all right." I ask that you and your family please accept my deepest sympathies and find comfort in your memories of Roger. Sharon Kutina Gessler
