To The Ruppel Family,

My deepest sympathy on the passing of Roger. I was fortunate to meet Roger and to play golf with him at Old Oak on Thursdays in the Physicians' Records golf league and in the Men's Club events.

I just wanted to let you know a wonderful guy he was. All of us at Old Oak thought the world of him. He will be truly missed and remembered fondly.

My thoughts and prayers are with at this difficult time.
