I'm so sorry about Roger, he was a good neighbor and he love his family. He was always out side watching the babies and cooking something on the grill.

I was thinking about Uncle Roger and remembering the old days when we would be playing in the back of his truck while him and Lester would be nearby chillin.... He was always pretty quite but always cool as well. He was a very good man and was always there for his family. He will be missed. Debbie Lynn, Elizabeth, Debby, Delton and grand kids may God wrap you in his arms during this time of your need and strengthen you.

I haven't seen Roger since our teenage years but I did think of him often and you have my sincere condolences.

Lyn Upton March 28, 2012

Dearest Debby, Debbie Lyn & Elizabeth, I'm so sorry for your loss. I thought about Roger very often over the years and always remembered his quiet personality and jet black hair from our younger years. I know he loved you girls and your children very much. I remember he always had a passion for cars, guns and music. As sad as it is that he's gone now, we can find some comfort in knowing that he doesn't feel sick anymore and is in a really beautiful place with our heavenly Father. Here's a hug for each one of you and I'm sorry I can't be there with you during this time. Love, Lyn
