    So sorry to see Roger has passed. I worked with him in the 90's and he was a good friend. Although I had not seen him in many years, I remember him well and the jolly conversations we had. I am sure that he will be missed by all who knew him.

    Maxine and Arlene, I just learned today of Roger's death. I am so sorry for the loss of your last brother. It has been many, many years since I saw him..in fact, we were all just kids in Boyd. I would have attended the memorial had I been aware of it, but as I said, I just today learned of his passing. John and Ruth have been on vacation in California, along with Donna and her husband, and they're not due back until sometime this weekend, so I don't know if they are yet aware. I hope this message gets passed on by the funeral home to both of you. I am truly sorry I missed the memorial service and a change to visit with both of you. Barbara

    Karen, We share in the sadness of Rodger passing. Through the years at the campground together we enjoyed our time with him, his helpfulness with all of the campers and staff. His 'Hello Dear' always lightened my day. Standing peace for you and yours. May beautiful grace embrace and comfort you.

  • We will miss that great smile of Roger's. Karen, you took such good care of him and married on his birthday and now we passed him to his brother, Doug, to take Roger home - as he left us on Doug's birthday. How sweet is that. Love, Maxine & the family.
