It is with much sorrow that I read of Roger's passing. Last time I saw him we talked for a bit, and I am very glad that we had that opportunity. He was a very kind man that always had time to chat about anything you could think of. And he was a very smart man; a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about NH, and about this area in particular.
Roger's passing is tremendous loss for all those that knew him, as well as those that never had the pleasure of meeting him.
My sincere sympathy to your wife and family.
You were a really good man, Roger...
