Roger and I worked together for several years at The Central NY Psych Center in Marcy as Security Hospital Treatment Assistants. I was his supervisor and friend, he was a excellent guy to work with and could be counted on under a multitude of scenarios. It certainly was not your typical job but a cross between a Corrections Officer and a Mental Health Worker. The job at Central was deemed at one point the most dangerous/difficult job in NY and Roger was a good man to have by your side while doing it. Rest in Peace Roger, until we meet again. My most sincere condolences to family
