Roger was such a great man. I spent probably the past 12 birthdays with him. He was so very hospitable and kind. I always told him I was the adopted daughter he never wanted. This breaks my heart.

Rodger and I were room mates back in 1980 and 1981. Those were some of the best times of my life. He was a good friend for the last 44 years. He was always one to help a friend out. I will sorely miss him.
