So sorry for your loss. I remember your dad from St. Peters.
Roger was a great neighbor and friend of our family for many years. My condolences to the family.
Roger (like my father, Jack Mackenzie) was one of those “gems.” I loved every minute of time that I had with him. A great story teller, and always so encouraging to others.

Dear Family,.
I first met Roger in a cemetery here with My old friend Jerry Schutte
Who known him forever.
We chatted about old Quincy and he always wanted to see my large Quincy collection and pictures, and post cards as he collected too.
I told him we had Frankenhoffs in my family too. I hope Roger wrote down his experiences and stories all are important for the next generation.
God bless his soul.
