Rodger had a magnetic way about him. Very fun and loving. Whenever we came to Englewood Rodger would take us boating, surfing, baseball games and whatever was going on. My condolences to his family and loved ones. You will be so missed but thank you for being in our lives. Susan Bender Wiktor.

Roger was always a "hoot"', sacking groceries at LA Anger's after a hard day at school, driving around in his 1953 ( I think) Chevy, running up and down the beach in a jeep and so on. There are som may things "Mama White" does not need to know I will not list here. Enjoyed his visits at our lake house on Lake Wedowee, AL., he always did such a good job on the yard work. One trip he brought Rudy along, needless to say we sure had many years to talk about. Bottom line, so many lost a fiend we should NEVER forget.
Rest in peace my dear friend,
Ken "Kenny" Chadwick

Rodger was the BEST neighbor and such a dear friend to me! What an example he set of the kind of person Christ calls us to be! He loved people and there wasn't anything he wouldn't do to help someone else out! I will miss him every single day.

Loved working with Rodger, he always made me laugh. We spent many hours talking about Vietnam & it showed in my history grades. Prayers to the family & for Rodger's eternal peace.

Dear Kathleen, my deepest condolences for the passing of Rodger. I know he is not suffering any longer and that should give you and his family a sense of closure. I know that Sierra and his son's along with his family there will be a big void. You always helped and care for Rodger. I will never forget him running around the grounds at USF.
He is now in the Lord's Hands and may He rest in peace. God Bless. Mario Ramirez.

Rodger was a great risk manager and an even better friend. I enjoyed my long relationship with him both professionally and as a friend. He will be missed. I apologize I can not be at the service as it is the day we celebrate my Mother's 95th birthday outside of Tampa. I plan to donate to my favorite Charity, Sunrise, which serves the developmentally challenged, in his memory. My condolences to the family. John Holcomb
