I just heard of Roger's passing and was deeply saddened by the news. I rode the train many mornings with Roger and had the pleasure of sharing a round of golf with him two summers ago. He was a true gentleman who will be missed. My prayers are with your family.

I've been a corporate client of Roger for over 20 years, and enjoyed working with him that entire time. Our relationship grew into a genuine friendship, and I will miss talking and joking with him. He was a wonderful guy and a professional attorney like few others I have known. I know that other attorneys in the field felt the same way about Roger's professionalism.

He was a great friend and I will miss him.

I was so very sorry to hear of Roger's passing. I was a law clerk and then Attorney at GBC from 2002-2007, and really enjoyed working with and learning from Roger. He was a wonderful man.

My husband Cary is from a small town in Nebraska, and at GBC gatherings, Roger and Cary would talk about the towns in which they grew up and their great love for Husker football.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

There are no words that will take the sting of death away, but may warm memories of your life together be of some comfort at this time. Although I only knew him for a short while, I can honestly say that I enjoyed getting to know both Roger and yourself. Although he was stoic to the end, it was fun to see bits of his humor peek through the pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you all
