Our deepest condolences on Roger’s passing. Roger was a wonderful man. His smile was contagious and he wore it always. Memories of watching he and Marlean on the dance floor were magical. To watch them doing the “JIVE” was definitely a memory which will last a lifetime. Rest In Peace Roger. - Posted by: Dan & Sandra McSweeney (Acquaintances ) on: Dec 24, 2020

Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your father. His smile was infectious and he wore it always. Seeing he and Marlean on the dance floor was absolutely magical. They moved in harmony with each other and they outshone everyone on the dance floor when it came to the jive. Wow - to see them is a memory that will last a lifetime. - Posted by: Dan & Sandra McSweeney (Acquaintance ) on: Dec 24, 2020

Roger was an amazing person. He showed all family members examples of "family first" and celebrating the positives that life gives us. I only got to meet Roger a few times over the years and every time it seemed like we were long lost friends. He always found a way to have fun while making me feel at home and important. I treasure my memories of him and what he stood for. Rest in peace dear uncle. I also lost my father (his brother-in-law), Clarence Schmidt just a month before. I hope that these two great men get a chance to re-unite in an afterlife and can rest easier knowing that have done a very good job while alive on earth. - Posted by: kevin schmidt (nephew) on: Dec 20, 2020
