I just wanted to let Roger know that it was very hard to say good-bye. I just had to do that a little over 3 months ago to my little brother Geo.

I do know this Roger, you will always have a place in my heart, along with my entire family. My brother could not have found a better man to call his best friend. Debbie and you will always be a part of our family no matter what.

Do not worry about Debbie, I will always be there for her like you two were there for Geo. I told her not to hesitate to pick up that phone if she needs me for anything.

Roger, we all had some very good and fun times together. Wonderful memories. Never to be forgotten. Well buddy, tell Geo hello and that I Love Him, Love You too. Rest In Peace All Of You.

My Dearest Debbie & Family,

I was so sad to hear that Roger had passed on. Roger was a very good hearted person to many. Roger and you were the only friends that never gave up hope for my little brother Geo, especially Roger. Both of you will always mean the world to me for just that reason. Roger and Geo had a father-son relationship, not to mention the bonding friendship that they had built. At last the two harley brothers can be together again, even if it has only been for a short time since they last were together. Roger and Geo will be missed dearly. I will always remember the bike runs we rode on together. Those were some good times and I will never forget them.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Zachritz's family as well. We love you Roger. Tell Geo his sis loves and misses him. Roger, you and Geo be our Angels and watch over all of us. Rest in Peace and God Bless You.

Roger will be truley missed. He was a was loved by my brother Geo that is missed dearly (December 19, 2007) also. He talked of Roger daily and Roger was there to lead a hand ,ear, and shoulder for him. The two were bonded and now they can bond again and be our loving guardian angels forever. They are as Free as a Bird now and ride the stairway to heaven with their Harleys. Roger will be missed by our family and our prayers are with you Debbie and family.
