The world has truly lost one of the best. I realize this is heard over and over but this is with total conviction.

That smile, laugh, bright eyes and willingness to help is now stall at it. He will be waiting for Nancy.

Bless you Roger and truly rest in peace.

Renee,
A loss like this is beyond words. My heart aches for you, for Roger's children and grandchildren, certainly for Nancy...and for Roger's many friends. It's so hard to even take in that the wonderful man I knew so many years ago, and that you describe so sweetly in his obituary is gone. "We're never more than a thought apart...those remembered live in the heart." I close my eyes and memories of Rober's quiet presence, laughing eyes, and humor are there. His dying so suddenly and unexpectedly--meant no one got to say good-bye. You had no chance to say good-bye to "your big brother". In some ways that makes what would be a difficult loss at any time, even harder. I know all the family is gathered to grieve, to remember, to support each other, and to share memories. Together you will get through these first days. The love Roger had for each of you, and the love each of you had for him will draw you close, bring comfort, and carry you through. When you gather to pay tribute to Roger's life, the memorial service will be woven from all your shared memories and love--the same things that bound you to Roger in life, and will forever bind your hearts beautifully with his, long after the service ends.

Dear Nancy, I was shocked at the news of Rogers' passing. Sue and I are very sorry for the loss of Roger. Please except our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Roger was a nice guy. He always had something nice to say to me and Sue. I only wish we had spent more time together after our retirements. I will forever remember the good times we shared at the dinners and other functions we attended with you and Roger. At this writing Sue is across the country on business and we regret not being able to attend the services. Again, we are deeply saddened. Your friends always, Dave and Sue Tysor

Dear Nancy,
One of our special highlights in the summer months has been getting together with you, Roger, Paulette and David. You and Roger offered us such wonderful hospitality at the beautiful home you made together. We have admired the skills that Roger had in creating all kinds of outstanding things, from furniture to waterfalls! We will remember the laughter and good times. We are thankful to have known Roger.

Nancy & Family:

I am so sorry for the loss of the quiet and steady foundation of your lives. Roger was such a stable presence in every situation, and could be counted on to be the calm amid the storm. I will remember him for this patience, and dry wit. He could always make me laugh with his rueful observations about the absurdity of life at JFCOM. Roger was a precious soul, and the world will be a darker place without him, but I am a better person for having known him. He was a model husband, father, and grandfather, and his love for all of you came through in every conversation I ever had with him. My heartfelt prayers and sympathies are with all of you, as you go through this difficult and painful time.

Nancy and family, Roger was a good man and father. He had many talents and was not afraid of hard work both at home and at the office. This is evident by his many accomplishments. Roger enjoyed life to its fullest and always enjoyed telling a good story. He was a good friend. Roger, I hope our paths cross again someday. Nancy our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Nancy, you and Roger were like parents to me there at my first duty station so far from home. I remember holding an umbrella for Roger while he changed my flat tire in the pouring rain in the parking lot after work. I remember his gentle teasing with a twinkle in his eye. The world is definitely a better place because of Roger. I am so truly sorry for your loss and will be praying for you and your dear family.

Roger was one of the sweetest men that I have ever met. He was full of humor, and, my goodness, how he could tell a joke....yes, with sound effects. I just can't believe that I won't see those twinkling eyes and that grey mustache any more. Do some wood working up there,Roger and we'll see you again some day.

Roger's way of telling stories often included sound effects making the stories fun to hear. I had shared many hours working with Roger on home computers and networks. Roger could always be counted on to lend a hand when needed. Great guy and a wonderful friend. He will truly be missed.

Shane,
What a wonderful obituary. Your dad sounds like he was a great man.
Sounds like he was bright, and a "go getter" hard worker. Sounds kind of like you, huh (smile)? Jimmy and I are sorry for your family's loss. May peace be with you all during this time.
