I've lost a buddy! Roger and I rode together to our Rotary meetings weekly for years, and more recently met at his home frequently to trade Navy and Coast Guard stories. We also "solved the country's and world's problems" together, always in agreement. These will be some of my very best
memories. Fair winds and following seas, Roger. I will miss you!

Very sorry to read of the CAPT´s passing David and families. Ran into the Captain a couple of times over past 40 years in Tidewater. Nice gentleman. Being a Navy Medicine man, and having worked briefly in 80´s with more senior Dental Corps, when I remembered to ask if they knew him, there were always kind words for him. I am sure he´ll be welcomed into God´s loving arms. My deepest sympathies to you all,
Rick Titi, Chesapeake
