What can I say….Roger was a huge part of my past and he will always be in my heart and prayers. He was immensely kind to me and I am sorry for your loss. No matter what, he never had a bad bone in his body and he treated me with respect. I am truly saddened by this news.

My deepest sympathy to the family during this difficult time. Roger was such a good hearted man. He stopped out to see Dennis when he was ill and suggested some alternative meds to fight his cancer. Sadly both battles were lost. His compassion for his fellow man was unyielding. May Roger soar like an eagle with Dennis! 🦅 🦅

Roger was my cousin and dear friend from little kids to our late teens. Some of my most memorable and fondest memories were spent with Roger and his family. We ALWAYS had so much fun. He always called me his bosom. Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss.

I’m so sorry to hear this. Roger was a good friend to my brothers and he stopped by to see me just a few days ago and we reminisced about the twins and all their adventures years ago. This is so sad.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
