MaTaunte Maggie, Steve, Brian, Cindy and Nicole,
I am sorry for your loss. Words cannot express the sorrow I am feeling. I cannot think of my childhood without remembering countless days and nights spent at your home. Some of my best memories are when our families would get together. Moments that pop into my mind about Uncle Roger is of him giving us rides on his motorcycle, being afraid of him when he got mad (especially the time when Me, Brian, Bruce, Greg and Stevie broke the cellar door on Craige Street) and who could forget when he told my brother Greg he had to “lick his plate clean” before getting up from the dinner table ( No Greg, he was not serious).
I only hope that knowing so many people are thinking of you and your families right now gives you some comfort. I wish I was there to help celebrate Uncle Roger’s life. You are all in my thoughts. Whether Florida or Rhode Island, we are family and I am thinking of you.
Love,
Jeff, Kerri and family

Peeling back the layers, prayer. upon prayer,
The winds of time blow unrelenting… Baring the heart… Naked, Vulnerable, Honest.
Courage stirs within… Pure, Fearless, Knowing.
A new realization dawns… the Path is clear…..
Sprinkles of Joy rain down, around and through …. Lightening the Journey.
Roger, may your Spirit, your Smile, your Laughter live on in the hearts of your family that they may be comforted. Love and Peace to all.

Dear Margie and family, I wish to express my heartfelt sympathy to you all. Roger was a great guy. He always had a smile and an awesome laugh and a friendly hello for all. He loved passing out doggie treats also. He taught me a lot about shuffleboard, and got quite a kick out of me beating him one day! I will miss him. May God Bless you all.
My condolences go out to my closest friend Jackie and the family in this time of loss. May God bless and comfort you all
