I am so sorry at the loss of your father and brother. I had the opportunity to spend some time with Roger when I was hanging out with Donald, and I truly enjoyed the time spent with him. I know above all that he loved his children more then anything else in the world. My prayers are with you and your entire family.

I drove Roger to cancer treatments for a few trips. I enjoyed him so much. He was a gentleman through and through. He was very proud of his family and loved them very much. He was fun to visit with and I liked him a lot. Thank you for sharing him with me.
