Roger gave me my start as a planner in the Tampa Bay Area which culminated in a 37 year career in planning. He was a very kind man and very smart, willing to share his knowledge and help wherever he could. My condolences to his family. May God grant you peace during this time of mourning.

I've known Roger almost all of my life. He was a close friend of my cousin Charlie Bridges. I was 9 years younger than them but they would take me all over and I played football and corkball in the park with them. Last time I saw Roger was at Charlie's celebration of life that Roger organized. He was one of the nicest guys I've ever known in my life. I know all of you will miss him. May he RIP. until we meet again.
