Have known Roger since I was in diapers and he was the best friend my Dad could have been blessed with. He stepped in and after my Dad passed and always had my back! Many fond band trip memories. Even played nurse on one of them to take care of my hand! My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. Roger will be greatly missed! Always there for me! The Lord has claimed a good one! My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.
