Roger was a great man, a true gentleman, and a wonderful friend for nearly 75 years. He served his family, his community, and his country well, making a difference that will last well beyond the current generation. Roger was loved and respected by all who had the good fortune to know him well. I am thankful for having met him during our early years in Boy Scouts in the mid-forties. We did many things together as kids such as going to the movies, playing tennis, chip and putt golf, skiing in the winter, and even double dating when he was romancing Ruth Ann. I could not been given a greater honor than being Best Man at their wedding. They were a beautiful couple and continued to be a blessing to each other and to numerous friends for the next 57 years. My deepest sympathies go to Ruth Ann and to all of Roger's family.
