I'm so sorry to hear that Roger passed away. He will be dearly missed. I didn't know he was an Intelligence Officer in the Air Force. I'm sure he made a big difference in helping to keep all of us safe. I remember getting to spend some Sundays with the family when we all piled in to the back seat. A day filled with uncontrollable giggles. Hugs and kisses to family. Love Missy
