I met Roger when I started at Lowe’s in 2015. During my 2 years there, he was one of the nicest kindest coworkers: always had a smile, even if he was having a bad day; always kind and had a funny story,; always tender hearted with a kind word. The world is a sadder place without his light. Prayers for you all.
