Dear Dottie and Family:
I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of dear Roger. Although we have not seen you much over the past few years we have kept in touch. We consider you both such dear friends and enjoyed so much the time we spent with you both in So. San Franciso. Those were happy, memorable years I won't forget. I know how devistated you must be ....after loosing my dear husband as well. The Lord will bless you and sustain you as you go through this difficult time. I know this is especially hard for your Dottie as Roger was so devoted to you with his love and caring for you through your illness. I know it will be hard to carry on without him through your own trials. Know I pray for you and love you.

Dear Dottie and children,
Our deepest sympathy is with you at this unexpected death of Roger! We were out of town when this happened, and just heard today.
It was nearly 20 years ago when he wrote a beautiful letter of recommendation for me when I applied at UAL, and I'm forever grateful. We will never forget him. During the years I worked at UAL, he would always come by to see me when he was in my building doing his locksmith work or carpentry. Whatever he did, it was a first class and perfect job, every time. He was always so happy and we could all see what a wonderful marriage the two of you enjoyed. 50 years! How wonderful!I will be thinking of you with love. Sincerely,

John Kensinger

My heart is very heavy for the Williams family. It was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to have worked with Roger at UAL. He was always such a happy person and he always wanted to help someone in what ever they needed. He will be missed by all. You made my life better Roger and I will miss you and I will always remember you.
