Virginia Holsten wrote a sympathy message

“I am saddened by Roger's death. I was writing him a birthday card, but lost his address. I first met Roger when he lived in Waverly. A friendship that has survived through thick and thin. I will miss our conversations, although they were not frequent. He was a good guy. Virginia Holsten - Vinton, Iowa”

“I went to high school with Roger. He was a really great guy. My BF and I double dated with Roger and his GF a few times. The last time I saw Roger was at our 50th high school reunion. We talked a lot and had a lot of fun. I was really sad to learn of Roger‘s passing. He was a memorable guy who will be missed. Ellen von Ohlen Guerrant, Charlotte NC”

Gary Hansen wrote a sympathy message

“Roger and I were high school classmates. Some years later, Roger spent an overnight here in Colorado with my wife and I. We had a great time catching up and swapping stories. The next year he called and wanted us to view a place in the mountains that he was thinking of buying. It had a beautiful view, but the cabin was a dump. Roger never did get to move back to the Rockies. I always looked forward to seeing him at our class get togethers. Thoughts and prayers for his family.”

Carolyn Thomas wrote a sympathy message

“Roger was a friend in high school and I lost track of him for awhile. But, we shared the same birthday so we would get in touch on our birthdays. I understood that he had an interesting life, served his country and eventually came back to Illinois and met regularly with our 1961 classmates. We were able to see him several times and enjoyed our conversations. Rest in peace Roger.”

“I did not know Roger well but knew him more through attendance at class reunions and had conversations with him. He was a friend of my brother Grant. He will be missed.”

“We shared some meals and perhaps we could have exchanged/shared our experiences. We chose not to. We did share “Welcome Home” which means so much. Rest with peace and “Welcome Home””
