Condolences to all of Rogers family and friends. We had great visits while sitting with Bertha and cousin Judy, my wife, at the nursing home in Ishpeming. It was always nice to see him. I know he was a special cousin to Judy. He will be remembered by all In the families. Thanks for the visits, Roger.
God bless.

Roger and i sat with Bertha and my wife, Judy, (Lahde Richer) when he came to visit his mom at Valente’s Nursing home. Judy was always fond of Roger through the years and was a favorite relative. I hadn’t seen Roger for some time other than running into him at Menard’s when he was at Bertha’s place. So, it was nice to spend time at Valente’s with he and Bertha. Not the best of times but good times. Time that will not be forgotten.
My deepest condolences to all in his family and friends as well. I feel fortunate to have been part of his family as an in-law relative.
