Hardest part of losing someone isn't having to say goodbye, but rather learning how to live without them. Always trying to fill the void, the emptiness, that's left inside your heart when they go. We love you Roger, we will always love you, and will never forget all the wonderfu,l truly loving things you did for everyone

HE was a great man and teacher. I was one of his students at Judson at the same time as Bobby. He will always be remembered. RIP Mr. Woolsey.

We taught with Roger for 10 years at Judson School and saw him for the next 13 years at gatherings of the Judson teachers and alums. You would never meet a nicer man--so willing to help anyone at any time. He will be missed.
