Our gang here, as well as Mike and Myself, are shocked and saddened at the loss of Roger. I so enjoyed him stopping in to pick up parts as he always had something to say!! We may have at times been competitors on the race track, and in the "junkyard" business, but a finer family you will be hard pressed to find. Peace and Love to all Mike and Deanna Hart and Gang at Newville Auto Salvage. Edgerton wi

Not many people knew this but I always called Roger the "Ramjet", what a true inspiration he was to me, I have some real found memories of several personal conversations that we had about life in general, and I truely always walked away feeling inspired and like a better person at the end of the day because of his wisdom. I truely looked up to the man and always looked forward to hopefuly seeing him when I was back in town. The racing community has lost a true patron of the sport, and like most I personally will miss my friend. GOD BLESS YOU ROGER!

Roger was a good friend an always helped me when ever he could. He was always real nice when he came through the pit gate and stopped to talk a moment with me. I worked the pit gate or in the pit shack for 54 1/2 years so he went by me quite a few times. Sorry for the family but life goes on even if some of us must leave.. Jack R. Freeberg
