WE ONLY MEET ROGER BRIEFLY A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN WE VISITED THERESA'S SISTER CHRISTINA AND WE WILL SAY ROGER WAS A GREAT PERSON. HE WELCOMED MY SISTER AND HER BOYFRIEND AND HELPED THEM LIKE FAMILY. HE WAS VERY WELCOMING EVEN THOUGH THERESA'S SISTER WAS ONLY RENTING HIS HOME AND SAT AND TALKED WITH THE ENTIRE FAMILY LIKE IT WAS HIS OWN. ROGER WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON AND WILL BE MISSED GREATLY,ESPECIALLY BY BY THERESA'S SISTER CHRISTINA AND HER BOYFRIEND JEREMY. THEY THOUGHT OF ROGER AS FAMILY. ROGER SPOKE VERY HIGHLY OF HIS FAMILY, CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. WE WERE SHOCKED TO HEAR OF HIS PASSING. REST IN PEACE ROGER!!!

To the family of Roger: I worked at Badger Sheet Metal and I met Roger the day I interviewed there. I knew I wanted to work for Roger the minute I talked with him. His personal manner impressed me. It was the most comfortable place I worked. I am saddened to hear of his sudden death. He was a very kind and giving person. My condolences to the immediate family.

Was certainly sorry to hear of Roger's passing. After a busy summer I was looking forward to get together with him to share grand kid stories and so on. I guess we just never know how much time we have on this earth. May God's spirit be with you all to comfort and guide you.
