Jim and Donnie,

I send my deepest sympathy for your loss of a brother. Hold tight to the good times and share the stories when you can. Roger will live forever in your hearts...as a brother should.

I'm so sorry I couldn't be there to say goodbye. Rog was a great cousin and will be missed. I'll forever remember all of our fourth of July parties in Standard City. You will be missed. He will always be "the top of our pyramid"!

No words can ever describe the wonderful friendship I had with Roger. Both personal and working experiences. He always made me smile at work, no matter how my day was going. Very caring and respectable young man. We kept in conact even after we did no longer work together. It was a real joy in my heart that I got to talk with him last Thursday night. I will always remember his "Hey Ray, how ya doing?" There will never be another Roger and his Dodge Truck. Look down on us once in awhile and keep us all in line, Rog.

Sorry about your loss.

Sorry to hear of the news about Roger. It sadens me to see a family I know so very well go through such a loss. I can say that through my experience of the loss of my son you will someday look at his pictures and smile instead of cry. The pain never goes away, but it does ease with time. Just remember that he is no longer suffering or in pain and that he can only experience joy and happiness from here on out. He will be sadly missed.

To the family of Roger, I offer you my deepest sympathies, my thoughts and prayers, for peace and comfort in this most difficult of times. Roger was a high school buddy of my brothers, and Angie put it well the other day when she said she heard of their many "escapades" . His smile was bright and will light up your dark days from Heaven above! God bless you all!

I have been friends with Roger since High School, although we lost contact with each other for many years after graduation I got in contact with him this past year and had the opportunity to speak with him at his house in Standard City this summer. I was unaware he had been battling cancer for several years. Since then I kept in contact with him speaking to him about two weeks before christmas. Roger is a good friend to me. I am deeply sorry for your loss, and if there is anything I can do please let me know. Sincerely, Bill Shanner
