To Roger’s Family,
Please accept my deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers. I was saddened to hear of Roger’s passing.
Roger and I and a group of guys hung out together almost constantly throughout our Jr High & Sr High School years but we all scattered right after graduation. So I haven’t seen Roger since 1979. But I still remember his sharp wit, extraordinary intelligence and wonderfully warm humor just like it was yesterday.
Last week, I had my yearbook out and was already reminiscing about those days and looking forward to our 40th reunion next year, hoping to reconnect with Roger, when I saw the news of his passing. Sorry we won’t get that chance.
Prayers and blessings,
Chuck Brown - Class of 79
Beijing China.

Juanita, I am so sorry to see the loss of your husband. I sure can feel for you as it has been 9 years this July since Ray died. I was so shocked to see who your Mother is. I have known her and your Grandmother for years. When I was working and visited you all about the insurance, I did not know Goldie was your Mother. I just talked to Patsy Waddle and she told me how you found him, Its our loss but their gain. May God richly Bless You and give you the Grace you need had this time. Love Sue

I am heartbroken to hear of this loss. I remember Roger from high school English class, where he sat up front right in front of my desk. He kept a running commentary going as I lectured, mostly under his breath, but just loud enough for me to hear, and it was always hilarious - he knew he was cracking me up! But he also knew it was OK. I always have told everybody thaat Roger was the smartest kid I ever taught, and we argued almost daily about going to college - he said he didn't want to, and I said he had to, that it would be a great waste if he didn't go. He probably knew all along that he was going to Tech, but he kept the argument going even the next year when he wasn't in my class, but would come by to see me sometimes. I followed his progress, his success, with interest, and then came to love his wife, and the boys. I was so sorry to learn of his difficulties with his health, but I am so glad to have known him. I will keep his sweet family in my prayers.

I am so sorry. Sounded like a great family man, and that he was one of the few, who knew how to bring up his family the right way! I remember him being on the quite side. But I am sure there is a peace , knowing he has met his last goal with going home to where we long for. May the Holy Spirit blanket you with comfort.
Sincerely,
Sharon Dawson Wise

There are no words to say at times like these! Just know that there are many who are praying for God to surround you all in the comfort of His arms. Life becomes a new normal. You will always long for the days when Roger walked with you but God helps you across the rocks and through the potholes here on earth. You journey on day to day until you too join him in heaven.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. “
- Teddy Rosevelt
Roger told me about this quote when I was going through a hard time in my life and it always uplifted me, especially the smile on Rogers face and the look he would give when you knew he wasn’t joking. A part of him will always live in me. Fly high my friend, can’t wait to sit down and share your companionship again. It’s not a goodbye but a see you later. Miss you man.
