Allie my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Roger you will be missed. He was one of the best workers that I ever had. Always the first one there and the last to leave. He would do twice the work of young men 1/2 his age. Never a complaint and always a smile. He taught us a lot. Rest in Peace my friend. - Posted by: Allan Anderson (Friend/Co-worker) on: Mar 06, 2012

Roger was a very kind and caring man. I have known him since I was a little girl and the impression he has left on my life is unforgettable. Some memories include always putting out the sprinkler so us kids in the block could run through it on hot summer days, to allowing us in their pool to have some summer fun. Halloween decorations that were always unforgettable. Rodger was always hard at work. Rodger brought out the best in people with his drive and determination. I will greatly miss this man and to the family, Allie, Lisa, & Susan please accept my deepest condolences. Your family and this world has lost a great man! Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. All our love "The Single's".
