To the family: I met Roger when I worked for an accounting firm in Hannibal. I always looked forward to Roger’s yearly visits to the office. He was genuinely kind, smart, and a joy to speak with. My relatives live in Monroe City, so we had a connection for conversation. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Roger was one of the best, and we are so fortunate to have had him in our lives at such a young age. He will forever be remembered in the highest regard and missed so very much.
