So very sorry to hear of Roger's passing. He was a great guy and always made you smile or laugh. Although we only got to see you both at our reunions, it would seem like just yesterday when we would get together. It was due to his fun personality, wit, and care for his friends. I will always remember Roger, Jim Klesack, et al acting out Macbeth in our high school senior class. Dry ice and all to make the cauldron boil and bubble. I enjoyed Carol's comment about wondering how long it would take for Jim and Roger to get in trouble at their reunion.

Carol, our hearts and prayers go out to you and your daughter on the passing of Roger. Please know he was always loved and will be missed by us.
God bless you and comfort you.

Roger and I started first grade together and went all twelve grades and graduated together. He was my acting partner in two cemetery walks in Granger Township. We spent a lot of good times at class reunions with a lot of laughs too. He will certainly be missed! My thoughts and prayers go out to Carol and Melanie. May God give you comfort and peace.

Roger was one of those unique individuals who made the people he came in contact with better people. He lit up the room with his warm smile and engaging personality. We would always schedule extra time for his visits so we could laugh(which we did..alot), share stories, hear how Melanie was doing in Arizona and just catch up. He made the world a far better place....We all will miss you!

Melanie and Carol. I am very, very glad he was my cousin. I always love his smiling face and cheerful personality. Then I love his nickname, "Sparky".
My deepest condolences to both of you and Butchie and your rescue dog, too, Melanie. My deepest condolences to you, too, Russell.

A lot of people say you can judge a person by how dogs react to them. Roger was no exception to this rule. The first thing that I think about is how much our dog Flynn loved him. Whenever we go outside and Roger would be there, Flynn would flip over on his back and start barking out of excitement to see him. It took all my strength to hold Flynn back so that he didn't pounce on Roger every time we saw him. Roger has been an incredible neighbor and friend these past 20 years and we will miss him dearly.
