Roger was the best father-in-law (and Patti the best mother-in-law). I love you, Roger. Take care of Robin for me.
I still have the picture of Roger and myself, seniors in High School, voted ‘Best Dancers’. I know he’s dancing again now. My heart is with the family. Jayne Ann, friend and cousin.
Roger and I played basketball together. I also remember that Roger and I were together in a very bad automobile accident. The car was totaled and I was thrown out of the car. We both by the grace of God walked away on that summer day 49 years ago. Rest in peace my friend. Bill Roberson
