Roger Rounds Obituary
CUYAHOGA FALLS Roger S. Rounds, Sr., 65 years old, died suddenly on September 1, 2008.
As the owner of Fullerton Trans-portation for 41 years, Roger enjoyed the friends that he made in the moving business. He gleaned comfort and encouragement from his church, the Hudson Community Chapel. His creative pastimes included painting, framing, gardening, photography, stained glass, and building anything that needed to be built, but, his happiest moments were spending time with his family. He has deeply touched all of our lives with his smile, laugh, and his huge loving heart.
He was preceded in death by father, Edward "Pop" Authenreith; brother, Bruce Rounds; uncle and best friend, Doug Bynum; aunt, Alwayne Bynum; mother and father-in-law, Anthony and Margaret Crano; brothers-in-law, Carl Campbell and Joe Jones; mentor and friend, Richard Mills.
He created countless memories for his surviving family and wonderful friends. He was proud to be the loving husband of his high school sweetheart, Patricia (Crano) for 48 years; the cherished father of Kim Rounds, Scott (Wendy) Rounds; and the adored grandfather of Tricia, Hannah, Joshua, Jacob, and Jonah. Roger's mom, Hilda Authenreith, will miss Roger deeply, and, their every Saturday lunch date. Terry (Dave) Bickel will miss the big brother that she's always looked up to. Roger leaves behind sisters-in-law, whom he felt were also his sisters, Ruth (Ray) Riter, Jean Jones, and very special sister-in-law, Mary Campbell. He enjoyed many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Special nieces and nephews included in Roger's life were Dana Cianciola, Lisa Fazenbaker, Carla and Gary Hall, Nick Hall, Janelle Nehrenz, Joe and Tammy Jones, as well as their three daughters, Amanda, Haylee, and Emilee.
The family wants to thank special friends Tom and Pat Shaw, Steve and Sylvia Clary, Bob and Loretta Miller, Don and Georgia Igoe, Dick and Cathy Rosenberg, for helping them to make Roger's life fun.
Private funeral services will be conducted by Redmon Funeral Home in Stow, Ohio. The family requests memorials be made to Hudson Community Chapel, 750 W. Streetsboro St., Hudson 44236. Roger's video tribute will be available at www.redmonfuneral home.com.

God's Blessing to you all.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
