Roger always made time for me (his little cousin) growing up when he was in Florida. He and his family will continue to be a positive force and blessing to this world through the people lucky enough to have known him and them.

Rodger was one of a core 4 guys, more like brothers, that made high school tolerable. From washing airplanes at the Johnson hangar, to the Cow House, and the Christmas dances at Meadowbrook Country Club, Rodger was there to help make the memories. To Kathleen and the children find comfort in what Jesus Christ promise us, especially this Easter weekend. But for now Rog, walk with the Lord, and we'll catch up later on down the road.

Our deepest condolences to Kathleen, Lauren, Caroline, Brian, and their families. We are truly blessed to have known Rodger. His gentleness and kindness have left an indelible impression on all of us. Rodger’s genuine spirit and sincere love for his fellow human beings—and for all that is good and true—will never be forgotten. Rest peacefully, Rodger. We will see you on the other side. And don’t worry, we’ll look out for your beloved Kathleen.

My lifelong friend, you will be greatly missed. Our trips to Ft. Walton Beach, golfing, and general mischief growing up will never be forgotten.

Roger always the spirit of a determined man. He will be missed among his Bocce league players. His attitude always inspired us.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

May this light shine as your smile always did. God Bless you Rodger and always praying for your soul... Rest in Peace. Marian and Dom

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
