To any and all who knew Roger my sincerest condolences on his passing. He was a good person I'm sure everyone who knew him will agree that it's a shame he passed away at the age of 64. We all want to live to a rip old age especially if we're in fairly good health. I didn't really hang out with Roger and was kind of surprised to see he graduated from Columbian and not Calvert. I will keep Roger and his family in my prayers.

I remember when Roger played in a band and they were on a Sunday Morning Amateur Show, singing the song, "Little Black Egg"....I was sorry to hear he passed away.
