Roger had a quick wit and was a special person. I am so glad that we got together a couple of months ago at Simon Rodriguez's house to reminisce our time at Macomber and other events. We were planning to get together again early next year. I have many great memories with him. Rest in Peace fellow MacMen you will be greatly missed.
