I remember Uncle Roger as a kind, soft spoken man who seemed to have a special place for his nieces and nephews. I have fond memories of family gatherings with him and Aunt Lucille.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of Uncle Rogers’s family. My memories of him are of a warm, kind, and gentle man. Always enjoyed seeing he and Aunt Lucille as a child, and less frequent as an adult. He always took special interest in family. May he rest in peace. Niece, Karen Bules
Uncle Roger was very special person. He always had time for family, and made a special effort to visit.
Although I have not seen him in the last few years,since he was unable to travel, He will be greatly missed. You could always count on him at family gatherings. His niece Elaine.
As a brother-in-law he was very warm and caring. Will miss his cards and emails. Enjoyed the time spent with his parents and brother Dave. Sister-in-law of Lucille, Marilyn.
We know that the angels are laying out the red carpet. Uncle you were such an important part of our youth in helping to shape our life. Rest in the peace you so deserve.
I have many fond memories of visiting with Roger when I was young. Roger was a guy who was always easy to talk to..
To Roger’s family,
I wish I had had the chance to know Roger. I can see a resemblance to my grandfather, who would have been his uncle.
