What a kind hearted, sweet man for this earth to lose. You will be missed by all who knew you, Roger.
Sorry for the Familys great loss.
Roger was such a sweet Man, always had a smile on his face.
Rest In Paradise Roger,
You were an amazing man, a superb foreman when I worked for you at Pasadena Tank Corp. You always had a way of making me laugh when I was upset or mad. You told me one day, I had what it took to become a safety lady, I just needed to get off my *** Oops… I mean butt. 🙂
Well, I messaged Roger the day I started my new job as the Site Safety Coordinator for another tank construction company. I think he was more excited than I was …Thanks for being such a good friend and mentor over the years Rog.
You will be severely missed,
Morgan Ferrell
Thank you Roger and family for allowing us to become part of your lives. Roger was a kind and gentle soul and will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. We have been touched by his smile and good morning greetings every day on FB. We enjoyed seeing him at Cruisers on Sundays for the weekly blues jam. Ben Herrington named us all “The Jamily” because we were (are) all regulars. The Jamily wishes Roger a good journey in heaven. His nephew John Reed said: Rest in peace Uncle Roger. I bet there’s a good honky tonk band playing for ya right now.
With prayers and healing,
Rheiner and Dorina Dinges
