We are deeply saddened to hear of Roger's passing. He was one of the kindest men that we have ever known. He always had time for everyone and took the time to listen to what they had to say. We know he will be truly missed. MaryAnn, Tim, Audrey and Families, know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May they bring you comfort and peace. In Deepest Sympathy,
I always thought of Roger as “the gentle giant”; he was so kind and so tall (my perspective). I loved how he could see something the rest of us might see as ordinary or dull and he could see the uniqueness in it and maybe find an alternative use for it.
Thinking of you all and sending prayers for peace and comfort.

Maryann, my deepest sympathy at the passing of Roger. My grinning buddy, Rest In Peace. Although we haven’t been in touch since the last class reunion it was always fun to cover 5 years in 15 minutes. Roger was always a TRUE friend since he came into Faulkton for high school oh so many years again
My deepest sympathy goes out to all the family. May God bless you and comfort you at this time of sorrow.
