We wanted to say that Roger will be truly missed by all of his coworkers at Hertz/RDU. He was a beautiful, fun, lovely man, and we all really enjoyed our time with him. He was a bright light on the dullest of days....always a word and a smile. We love you, Roger.

Bernice and I were surprised and saddened to learn of Roger's passing yesterday. We've shared some great times together with him over the years since since God brought us "home" to the PGBC family 39 years ago. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family at this time. We love you all.

It is with great sadness that I learned that my beloved cousin left the presence of our company. He was always loving and caring to everyone in the family and I will so miss his presence, his strength of character, and the example he set for all of us. May his love forever surround all of those who knew him and may his spirit live within all of us.
