  5. My deepest sympathy to you. It is heart-warming to know that we can pour out our feelings to God who promises to comfort our hearts. (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17) May you find hope and peace through God’s resurrection hope (John 5:28, 29)

  6. 361 6th aveSteve our sincere sympathy to you and the family. We’ll miss the calls that let Dennis know that the Yankee’s where on TV to the calls even if they weren’t on TV to say that they lost. And the scolding I would get for doing things I shouldn’t be doing like being on the top of the roof. Also someone that looked out for me as well I did for him. He was a very dear friend to me for many years. He will be missed.

  7. kindred ndDear Stephanie and family, There aren’t words that adequately express the sadness we’re feeling . We have so many of the best memories of you all. Roger was an outstanding example of hard work, integrity, loyalty, generosity, and big heartedness. He has set the bar pretty high for all of us . We will miss his smiling face and gentle ways. It is an honor to have known him and called him friend. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers, and will be there for you always. Our love to you and your family, Harlan and Jackie

I am devastated at the thought of never being able to talk to you For your advice , your suggestions and ideas! You’ve made me laugh , you’ve made me cry, You always told me the truth whether I wanted to hear it or not. You were always There when we needed you. Whether it was me or the boys. You were the most amazing man that I have ever known I love you and will miss you dearly.
    Rest in peace and save my spot at the poker table, across the table from you and just right of Barney!

  9. Walcott ND
    We are sooo shocked & saddened by Roger’s passing. He had the biggest heart anyone could ask for, whether it was asking about Mikel’s job for the day or Loudyn asking about his scooter he always had the biggest smile on his face and let’s not forget giving me crap “Alert!” is what he would yell when he needed something! I will miss him playing cards & making sure he always made it home safely, he warmed my heart & hundreds of others. Please let us know if there anything we can do to help out or if you just need someone to hang out with we are here for you Stevie.
    Mikel, Amber, Thomas & Loudyn Kelly

  11. Walcott So very sad to hear about Roger. He was such a well liked person. He made everyone laugh and smile. I will miss seeing him around town and up at the “pub” having popcorn, and playing cards. He touched the hearts of many and will be greatly missed. If there is anything I can do to be of help please let me know. My sympathies, thoughts and prayers to the family.

  12. Stephanie and Family,

    I was shocked and sooooo sad to hear the news. Roger was one of my favorite people in the entire world. He always made me smile and laugh. Since I moved away from Walcott I have not seen him as often as I have and I think of him and Steph frequently and of course I always kept trying to swing through town on my way home to see him and now it is too late. My thoughts are with all of you and I am here if you need anything!!!! Love you all!
