To the family, I just wanted to say I'm very sorry to find out Roger has passed. I know how everyone looked up to him and depended on him. Roger gave me a start with his publishing business and is where I learned many things. Working with Roger's computer network I was able to teach myself many things way back in the day and have carried those experiences into my own consulting business more than 30 years later. He was a good business man, a mentor and friend. My sincere condolences.

I enjoyed witnessing the interaction between Uncle Roger and Laura. They made each other chuckle and smile. A few years back I had a wonderful time at the cabin with Laura and Sandy. Uncle Roger stopped by in the morning. Laura was freaking out because she thought he would be mad at her about something- I don't even remember what it was. Uncle Roger came in and wasn't mad at all. He was laughing at us because we had driven the truck in the mud very late the night before.
I will never forget that Uncle Roger helped me buy my books for school.

We only knew Roger briefly but are saddened by the loss of a good neighbor. My last conversation with Roger was on native prairie grasses. He had a passion and knowledge on many different things.From what I knew of Roger, everything he did was neat, creative and first class.I feel a loss and I knew him only briefly...Kim and I are sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with your family.

Dear Becky and Family,
I am saddened to read about the death of Roger. We worked together many years at CDS. I remember meeting Laura and Deena at a company pool party at your house. God Bless you all.
