    I wish I would of gotten to see you more. But I’ll always remember the hand that was traced in my 5th birthday card and how it seemed SO big. Hearing you help put together my Barbie house on Christmas Eve and thinking it was elves. Teaching me that connect the dots are suppose to go in numeric order and how to do a somersault.

    My teen-age son Andy and I stumbled across the driving range a couple of years ago when Andy was learning to golf. Roger was always so kind to both of us and we enjoyed chatting with Roger as much as hitting a bucket of balls. I’ll always appreciate the interest he took not only in Andy’s golf progress but in Andy as a person. We’ll both miss Roger a great deal.
