I've known Roger since I was 10! I remember babysitting Mike (aka Muzzy) with my cousin Kathy. He was a part of a large, extended family that was a fabric of many lives. He was a good man who will be remembered by many.

Our dearest sympothies to everyone around Roger. Obviously his great family all the way down to his grandchildren that he would brag about. I say everybody around Roger because the amount of people that knew him and loved or respected is pretty amazing.
Thanks Roger for any and everything you ever did for me and my family. Anytime I wouldn't see him for a while the first thing he would ask was how is your wife and girls doing. Truly one of the last old school guys around that I'll never forget.

January 7, 2016

Dear Colleen & family,
We are truly saddened for the loss of your dad. He was a wonderful, kind & funny man. Take comfort knowing that he was welcomed to heaven by your mom & they are together again. Wishing you peace....Diane, Pat, Tom, Joe, & Dan.

My condolences to Rogers great family and friends that he had around him.
Roger will definitely be remembered fondly as a "what you see is what you get guy."
Thanks for anything and everything you ever did for my family.
I used to love to run into him after not seeing him for a while and he always wanted to know how your wife and children were doing or that he had heard they were doing well with something. Pretty amazing old school guy who I'll never forget.
Best to all around Roger at this time.
