Roger was my friend from 1st grade until high school graduation. I always enjoyed running into him in later years and talking about old times in Eccles and school. Always a great guy. He has a special place in my heart. Karen Barker Moore

I worked with Roger with Roger a long time ago at Omelet Shoppe. He was one of my favorite cooks, such a nice guy who looked out for everyone. I took care of him a few times at Raleigh General and he was a very good patient as well. I pray that the family is doing good and taking care of each other as Roger would have wanted. Love and prayers, Michelle
