I am not the only one who held Roger Goza in the highest esteem. We were born on the same day in the old Monahans hospital and wished each other Happy Birthday through many years. Following a Christian path, he was successful as a husband, father, entrepreneur, a loyal son of Monahans and a Lobo to the end. He faced his long decline with bravery. I know that our classmates from MHS share in a feeling of loss with his passing.
