Barb and Family, I'm sorry I didn't know of Rogers passing until the funeral was over. You and Roger along with Akers were a family that were friends with us when we moved to Plymouth in 1975. You are both special people. I know the pain you have and have walked in your shoes. He will be so missed by all of you. My prayer and love for all your family. God bless you . ♥♥

Barb and Family,
I remember Roger when we were neighbors and how he always had a great sense of humor. The last time I saw him and you, Barb, was at Meijer. It's probably been at least
two years. He was laughing and joking then as always. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Please, Barb, call if you need anything. Thoughts and prayers for you all.

My dear sweet, Uncle Roger...brought love and kindness wherever he went. He always had a smile on his face and had a way about him to make people laugh. I will cherish the memories of dancing in the front room with an Elvis 8-track playing Hound Dog, camping, canoeing, and the way you made everyone feel special. I will miss you forever but look forward to eternity. My dearest Aunt Barb I only wish I could hug away your hurt and sadness. How blessed you were to have such a wonderful man for all these years. I pray for comfort and joy of fond memories of the life you shared. Rick, Randy, Michelle, and Tim...I do not know the sorrow of losing my father but can only imagine the pain & emptiness you must feel. My heart truly aches for each of you! I've always heard the saying "you can't take it with you" but that's not necessarily true...you can take love with you and Uncle Roger had lots of love. God is Love! Prayers for you and your families.
