My deepest condolences to Roger's family. I have many memories growing up as a child with Roger in Franklin, then high school and all his efforts as a great wrestler and football player. Truly saddened to hear of his passing. Wishing we could have strolled down memory lane for a few laughs, as I smile just thinking of some of those times with my sisters and other neighborhood kids. RIP Roger.

Rogers dad Pitt was my best childhood friend growing up in Palmerton,Pa. Although I never met Roger, while visiting his dad in May 2013 Pitt spoke very highly of Roger and was very proud of his accomplishments and was looking forward to visiting Roger in the near future.My thoughts and sorrow is felt for Pitt and Rogers family at this time.
