My deepest sympathy to Rodger's family. What a great guy he was. Had a lot of fun with Rodger through our high school years. Saw him a while back, he was still the same Rodger. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. RIP my friend....

Roger was a dear friend of ours while we were co workers for the Grand Union. Going to the track was always part of the summer. I know he is in good hands with the Lord. He will always hold a special spot in my heart.
