Roger was much more than a brother-in-law- more like a brother, a co-conspirator, a committed homebody, a laid back be-cool kinda guy who never-ever wanted to go to Boston, a man who took care of his family, took care of large and small things around the house, who worked for 50 years and was a Vietnam Veteran. After his retirement he enjoyed breakfast with his high school pals and it cemented past relationships. He was a decent man who loved his wife (my sister), his son and his family. He will be missed by all of us, and I’m sure he was greeted enthusiastically by son Paul, hugs with my Walt and Joanie, and I guess he could only roll his eyes at my Dad. Joan, I love you..
