May Roger’s family and friends be comforted by God’s promise to “Swallow up death forever, and wipe away every tear from all faces.” (Isaiah 25:8) Remembering too the promise of the resurrection hope, for both the Unrighteous and Righteous. (Acts 24:15)

My condolences to Roger’s family. Roger and I were co-workers for several years in Watertown and became good friends. It was sad to see him move to Barstow, but we stayed in touch for a few years when he would come home to visit in the fall. We spent some time at the Redwood cottage on Butterfield lake, and also at my camp on Tug Hill. I had hoped to touch base with him last summer at the cottage when I stopped by , but no luck. His gruff manor, and matter-of-fact speaking is something I will always remember and miss. He was a good friend, a good tool & die maker, and he will surely be missed. Rest In Peace Roger.
