Am saddened by the death of Roger and Sally and I offer our condolences to Wilda, Duska, Victor and family. Had only met Roger a couple of times through Terry visits, but he was certainly a great guy to share conversation with. He sure will be missed.

Roger was uniquely intelligent, competent, and gregarious. He was a vital part of our intimate emotional landscape, his loss is heartbreaking. He and Wilda never let us down always loving, engaging and extraordinarily generous. Sorely he will be missed but will always be alive in our hearts. Safe passage Roger
