Suzie as Pee Wee called you,i feel like i've lost part of me,as we had so much in common.I cherish all the memories of when we raced together and when the four of us just plain hung out together and had a good time.There will never be another like him as God broke the mold.He was only here for 56 years but he made a difference in a lot of lives in that short span of time.I truly feel that he's looking down on us now smiling.Thank you, Suzie for making his life full,he had many interests and hobbies but you were at the center of his world and his heart,God bless you for sharing him with us.I thank God for giving me Pee Wee for he was the brother i never had.I will miss him for as long as i am allowed to walk on this earth.God bless you Sue and Godspeed my brother.

Dear Mrs Ritenour,
PeeWee was a family friend when we lived on Commerce Ave in the good old days. He spent a lot of time at our house with my brother Junior and we spent time at the Ritenour home. Roger and his parents were wonderful people. They were always there to help you out. We will miss Roger, but we will always have beautiful memories.
God bless you at this time.
