I have such wonderful memories of my brother,,Roger.
He so loved to build things, he made my sister Pat and I such fun houses, tunnels! He even builder a raft, we had a small lake near the house, and the three of us would go on it, what great memories!
Even as we got older, he was always there for us.
He will be deeply missed, but will always be close in my heart!

My sincere sympathies to families and friends. Roger was a great neighbor. He was always friendly and helpful. He and Fred gave me good advice and if he was in the yard, I could count on a wave as I drove by. I regret that I’m unable to attend his funeral.
