The question was asked “What did you learn from Roger?” It wasn’t something I learned from him, it was something he reminded me. Make memories! When I was too tired to put one foot in front of the other, he convinced me to be the baseball team team-mom. Getting to make memories with our three boys was priceless and he was right. I’m so glad we all got to spend that time together.
Sorry to hear of Roger’s passing. Always enjoyed conversations with him at various family gatherings throughout the years. He out ranks me when it comes to final resting places. He will be in good company at Arlington. Peace and treasured memories to your whole family.
This is a very difficult thing to put down on paper. I tend to put things off because I don’t want to face the realities of life sometimes even though they are inevitable. I knew Roger for 20yrs. as a honorable trustworthy and funny friend that was always there for you. I loved spending time with him and often think about our days on the golf course or just hanging out. Now reflecting, I know that he was one of my best friends and he will truly be missed. To the fam: Having gone through it, I know what it’s like to lose someone so special. I won’t forget the times (although not nearly enough) that we had.
