Carol, I am so saddened to hear of Roger's death. I worked with him through LSTC's board. He was always such a bold and clear thinker, who always kept his heart and values at the center of everything he did and said. I came to count him as a loving friend with a clear passion for God's justice and mercy in our world. I will miss him. What a blessing he has been!

Carol,
Our sympathy to you and your family on Roger's passing. He exemplified faith in action, love of family, and led by example. He was an admired leader with a great sense of humor.

Carol and girls,
I was so very sorry to learn of Roger´s passing. He was a wonderful man and friend. I am very far from Omaha - Montrose, Colorado -, but will be nearby in prayer on Monday

I served with Roger on the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago (LSTC) Board of Directors for a number of years. He was a leader with great skills in moving LSTC forward. Roger was a servant leader in the true sense of that leadership style. I loved his focus on making good things happen and doing so with grace and humor. He will be missed by all whose lives he touched. Peace, Dave Wegge

The Lutheran church and our city has lost an active leader for those interests he felt passionate about. We met years ago through church and our kids grew up together. He was a consumate professional in his work and dedicated in his service to others. We will miss him

Roger was someone who you could always count on to be available if asked and to always give you first-class leadership. My many years of experience with LSTC and Roger provided me the pleasure to see his leadership ability and commitment to be a servant of God. Always a joy to spend those times together.

Carol,
I am so sorry to hear of Roger's passing. He fought like a warrior and I will always respect and admire him or that. I'll never forget exchanging stories and encouraging each other during our PT time together at ATC. My heart goes out to you and your daughters...sorry I will miss services as I will be out of town but will be with you in spirit. With Love...Mike Thesing
