Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I considered Roger a very close friend of mine. We had some good times together and quite a few laughs. Over the years we did business together and spent time at the lakes together. I miss him dearly up at the lake. I regret not calling him more often, always meaning to. Well Rog, the pains are gone now and give me a sign up there so I know everything is alright! RIP bud!

  2. Shirley and Cousins,

    I am so very saddened to hear about the passing of Uncle Roger. He was the best Godfather I could ever ask for and it just breaks my heart to lose him. I still remember the Dolls he brought back to us when he was overseas, as well as my Sleigh that I ordered for Christmas as a little girl that he sent me money to buy. I have put that on my front porch every Christmas for over 40 years, and will continue the tradition thinking about him. He was there at every life stage of my life as any good Godfather would be. I remember when we went down to Mexico and had a great lunch at the Border and I got to have a Margarita and Salute with our family. I also remember when you came to Sequim and visited the Lavender farms and we went up to the hot springs. I will miss you deeply Uncle Roger and I know I will see you again someday.

  3. I remember having some great times with Roger. He was easy to admire and he loved to have fun! The world is a sadder place with his passing. May he rest in peace

  4. I have so many wonderful memories of Roger, in almost 50 years of hunting and fishing together there are too many to list but his wonderful laugh is one that was always part of everyone. He had one of the kindest hearts of anyone I knew, in all those times I don’t ever remember Roger in any way but Happy.
    He will be missed by many

  5. Roger was a dear friend. I so enjoyed the time spent in Yuma, our evening rides on our scooters were especially fun. Of course Roger had to talk to all the ladies. I will miss him dearly. Love to Shirley and the boys. Cal.

  6. Sad to read about Roger’s Passing. We’ve missed him since his retirement from A&R Roofing, in 2014.
    Roger, Elmer & Randy where good sounding boards, when we/I needed advice on Roofing problems and projects.
    We have missed all 3…………………………………..
