Everyone was smiling when Roger was there...He lit up the room with joy and kindness and was a great leader, friend and humanitarian...We will all miss him deeply and offer his beloved family courage and loving kindness and best wishes to remember the very best of times today and always. So glad I got to work with him(Alanna) and that he was at our wedding celebration in the SF Federal Boardroom.
Kind regards, Alanna and Morton

Roger and his larger than life personality will be remembered by all who knew him. What a sad and unexpected loss. He certainly went too soon. My heart and prayers go out to his family with whom he shared an enduring closeness.
