Our thoughts are with you guys today. We have SOOOOO many good memories of all that we have been through over the years. Hilarious most of the time1 Roger was unique - not another like him, that's for sure. A great guy. It's so unfair that he was taken. We learned of his passing as we were leaving for vacation in Costa Rica..... We were sitting in the beach bar and heard a big "CAW" - we looked up and there was a big crow. Stan and I both looked at each other and said at the same time "no way - could it be?". You will know what I mean and remember. Remember when Cheryl and I came back from Las Vegas and brought that bunny G-strap and what Roger did with it? OMG So many fun memories - that's what we should all hold dear and smile knowing that Roger would be smiling too. Stan and Candy

Debbie, Chrissy, and family, We can't express enough how sorry we are to hear about Roger.We haven't seen you guys in so many years but we will never forget the great times we had with you guys. Debbie, remember walking down Superior St. and Roger picked flowers out of the garden to give you? And when we all went to Grandma's big tent and we thought him and Steve were going to get us kicked out? It didn't matter where we went, we had the BEST times with you guys. His sense of humor was one all his own but one we adored, he was by far the funniest and fun person we ever had the pleasure to know and get to hang out with. As time went by we all kind of went our separate ways which thinking back we now regret. You always think you have time, when sadly you really don't. I wish we would have known he was sick, we would have went to see him but just know our thoughts, hearts, and prayers are with you all. Steve and Sherry Deraas
