I am sorry to hear of the passing of Roger. If I am not mistaken, he was also a weekend manager at Burger Chef when I worked for him. Good man.

I am so sorry in your loss of your beloved brother. Even though it has been at least 48 years since I have seen any of you I have thought about you often and wondered where all of you were. I was sorry to read that both of your parents have passed as well. Delores (my sister) and I are the only ones left in our immediate family as we lost mother 44 years ago and dad 11 years ago.
Please accept my deepest sympathy in your loss. May God bless you and be with all of you always.

I will remember him, as well as the entire family, with fond memories of how the old neighborhood used to be in the "good old days", and that Roger always had a smile.

I am so sorry to here about Roger's passing. It came as quite a shock.
Roger was my mentor at Jackson Hewitt. He was always very helpful. I will miss not having him to answer the many questions and problems that would arise at the office daily. He always had something to say and would give his immediate co-workers nicknames. Mine was peachy. He would never tell my how he came to that conclusion. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. God Bless!

I am sorry to here about Roger. I wasn't sure if it was him until I called around I'm shocked. He would always tease my husband and I when we would walk into his office. He will be missed. My sympathy goes out to the family.
