My prayers and thoughts are with Roger and his family. Now his father & mother has joined him in heaven with his two brothers Gary & Mark. I remember the fun times we had at Blue Ridge and the Gardners. I remember passing a Volkswagen on Rt. 11. I was on the left in my Camaro and you passed him on the right on the berm. we had to get to the Orange Roof before it closed at 10:00 P.M.. I looked in the rear view to see that the VW bounce back & forth because the wind we created. The person in the VW we found out later was just heading on his way to work. He was a State Trooper and he stopped at your parents the next morning in his uniform. He told your Dad & Mom that he knew it was you, and to give you a warning to slow down! But he did not know the other guy in the Camaro. But he found out later and told my mom!

Janet, Spencer, Gabriel,
Our deepest sorrow to you all. Roger and I played volleyball at the Gables years ago, many fun memories, years later our paths crossed again, our families meeting at the beach in Delaware...a reunion like we had just seen each other the day before; once a friend...friends forever! He had such a zest for life with a heart as big as the Universe. God has gained one of a kind...very special angel...
