Roger's kind and gentle spirit will be missed just as I will miss dancing with and seeing him on the dance floor. Molly, my thoughts are with you during this difficult season of life.

Molly, I'm so sorry you have lost your husband of so many years. I know from experience it is one of life's most difficult challenges. I pray your family and friends will be an enduring support and comfort to you as you begin to navigate life without Roger. He obviously was a wonderful person as well as husband and father, loved and well-liked by many. Hang on to the precious memories of the time you shared. I send my deepest condolences, because I won't be able to attend his service as I'll be out of state then.

Molly & Family, I am saddened to read the notice of Roger's passing Sunday. We loved him (and you, of course) and enjoyed our Bridge games so much. Also, I loved the Contra dances I was able to attend, especially when Roger was the caller. As the Obituary says so much about Roger's well lived life, he was a wonderful man and the world will miss him. Our sincere condolences to you and all the family. God Bless, Stan and Jane Cornette-Smeed

I have admired Roger for so many years. He was a brilliant scientist with such a wide range of interests, although it seems to me astrophysics was his favorite area. I loved listening him explain new discoveries. He was quiet but always ready with a quip that reflected his dry sense of humor. At First United Methodist Church he led in ways that were rarely in the spotlight, yet what he did was important. His faith showed through his generosity, the way he led his life, and the way he treated other people. It was such an honor to know him!
