I have know Roger for many years. I use to deliver Tampa Tribune papers to the same stores he delivery Bread to . We became good friends and even after we both stop our delivery jobs we kept in touch by phone . I tried to contact him many times since I had not heard from him for some time and called many time not knowing he had past away. Today I search again and found out of his death. I was very sad and sorry to find he had pass. He will always be in my memory and thoughts.

It's hard to believe you've almost been gone for a year. Even though I know you're watching from above, I wish you were still here. Love and miss you, Uncle Rog.
