On behalf of the Faculty, Staff, and Cadets of Missouri Military Academy, I extend our sincere condolences, thoughts, and prayers on the loss of Mr. Summy.
Sorry for the loss of Roger. There is so little one can say, but my heart goes out to you.
I will always have wonderful memories of my uncle Roger. He always let my sister Jenny and I pick a bag of chips out of the Frito Lay truck after his morning route. I can still remember how it smelled. He always had an oatmeal cookie and cold soda for me after I had been rock hunting in the creek behind his house. And it was so much fun getting to ride on the tractor fender cruising down the road! Roger loved his Western movies and enjoyed quizzing us all by quoting movie lines. I will miss Roger and will always be grateful for having him in my life.
Glad you are in a better place!!! I will always remember you,Buster, Phillis, and the creek. So many Je-ods on that land! I love you, and Phillis too!
Love,
Jaimie Schleper
