Roger was a distant neighbor, but I remember him from as far back as Northgate Junior High School. He was kind and gentle sole. Although, of quiet demeanor, I'm that he will be remembered by many. God Bless.

Roger and I had first-year Spanish together under Senora Hall. Although Roger was a quiet guy, probably many thought I was too, I found he had a great sense of humor. We had more than one joke about our attempts to speak Spanish. I am very sorry to hear that he has passed.
