Good Neighbor
I have so many wonderful memories of Roger. He was the best brother ( in law) a person could ever ask for. He treated everyone with respect. He took great loving care of my sister. All the laughs we shared through the years, I would have to go on and on. He kept my wheels running when I lived with them in Wyoming. He accepted you for who you are no matter what. RIP Royer. Love ya tons
I love you Uncle Roger
Roger was truly a great man! We are so sorry for your loss. To the entire family, our thoughts are with you during this difficult time!
Roger has been part of my life for over 25 years. His son, Alex, married my daughter, Heather way back when we all lived in Wyoming. We have shared many holidays and birthdays with he and Barbara because of this family connection. What an awesome Grampa he was! What an awesome and talented man. I will miss you, My Friend. Becky
Condolences ❤️
