Roger and I met when he delivered Yeast to our facility in Bellingham Mass. He was in three times a week and we always had a great time talking about our military service, the latest Patriots game or what we had done over the weekend. He is greatly missed. May God bless you and your family. He is not forgotten.

We were very saddened to hear of Roger's passing. Unfortunately we lost touch after you left Woburn. We will never forget his company from August to November on the Pop Warner field. Many fond memories over the years. He was such a wonderful father and a very gentle man. Chris, Nick and Mike never forget how very much he loved you. You were the world to him and that never ever changes. Stay strong and God Bless.You are in our thoughts.

"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best"
To the Machado family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult times. We will miss him.

Ann, Chris, Nick and Mikey its been such a long time since we've seen each other. I beleive it was at Jason's funeral! Its been 10 years for us since we lost him and I can tell you that time will heal. Keep good memories in your mind and happy picture close by. The past was such fun, we had a great time. Good ole Roger would always keep us out of trouble! Erik was telling me yesterday that he wish we could go back in time because those were the good old days. Right now Roger and Jay are catching up with new times and remembering the old... Ann if you need anything please don't hesitate to call me. Big hugs to you and the boys. Karen,bob, Erik and Dana

Ann, Chris, Nick, and Mike, We are so very sorry to hear of Roger's passing, he was such a great guy, and someone we would call friend and family for a great deal of our lives, We often think of you all, and remember all those wonderful parties and get togethers on the Ponderosa.
It was such fun back then, things seem so much simpler.
You keep his memory close, that way he will always be with you, and the pain you feel now will someday turn in the beautiful memories that were your husband, and father.
We love you and hope that you find peace in the knowledge that Roger is no longer in pain and is walking with our father.
With love and fond memories, to all of you, Bob, Karen, Jay, Erik, and Dana Wilson.

Ann,Chris,Nick, and Mike: My deepest sympathy for such a young and great loss. Your dad was a great man in many ways and how he loved all of you. I only knew him for about 10 years but every time I saw him I enjoyed every minute of it. He was always full of live and never had a bad word for anyone and would do anything for anyone. He use to say I was his body guard but now I'm sure he is watching over all of us. We all lost a good friend and we will miss him dearly.
