Recollections & Sympathy For the Family
Post Comment
Dear, Heather, WIlly and Anthony,

I'm so sorry to hear about Roger. Please accept my condolences. I'll always remember the times when we go together at Onota Lake or in the back yard during cookouts and gatherings. We had the best times and Roger made those moments what they where. Meaningful and very special. Please reach out if you should need anything. You're a strong, beautiful family that can get through anything. Blessings to all of you during this time of morning.

This photo is "classic" Roger and exactly the way I remember him. That big, genuine smile was him, just a truly nice guy! Every interaction I had with Roger was a pleasant one. I extend my sincerest condolences to Roger's family and friends.

I haven't spoke to Rog' in quite some time, but that does not numb the pain of his loss whatsoever. He was one of those truly "good" people that the world is in such desperate need of. He was also a great father, and is partly responsible for creating a son who is, to this day, one of the finest men I know. I am so sorry Willy, if you need anything brother, I am here. Be well.
