Happy birthday Roger!! I love you!!

I know it is not foot ball season but you(we) always used that term,"Flag on the play," to opose one anothers thoughts or actions. And,"Shoomp" was your word.....there were many uses for that word. I use these often. I think I'll take a walk down to your spot on little river and have a beer for you. Of coarse I'll pay.,.....miss you brother.....I'll hang a beer can on a tree for you

SHOOMP !!!

Rodge, Me, and my daughters. Took a nice walk down to Little River. 'Course i had to buy the beer......lol

Skin Pecker

Happy Birthday, Roger!  I'll see ya later tonight, and I'll take a Sombrero, too!  :)  Love ya!

Well your day is almost here again. Thats a big 10-4 little buddy......LOL Missing you....

Stopped at the whaler the other night, I guess I wanted to be where you spent alot of time and feel your presence.  I'll never forget the sound of your laughter..It was definitely contagious..Missing you always..Love you forever, Your sister Cheryl xo

I still have the pan you loaned me, that Dick loaned you . Still want to call you . I miss you in the morning, calling me a skin pecker and bumbing a smoke. I will miss you for ever. I cry quite often, but when i do, hear you saying, shut up, SHOOMP.  Thank you for the memeories of having a real friend.

SHOOM

P!!!!!!!!

Answer your damned phone

Hey doger, wanted to let you know I was thinking about you today. Really I think about you everyday. We all do, all your friends miss you so much. There are things that remind me of you almost everyday. A Pink Floyd song because of the time you were gonna throw my CDs out the window cause you dont like them. Macaroni salad cause when we had that bbq you didnt want peas in it but I had already put them in. "Ill just pick them out" you said. And remember the bench Dickie brought to the Whaler, we all signed it and laughed at what we wrote. I saw your brother the other day, the one that looks just like you. I had to do a double take cause I thought it was you. I hope you know we will never forget you, we carry you in our hearts always. You touched so many people. I miss you more than I can say, keep watch over us and we will see you again someday.

Just thinking about you today like most other days. Give me strength mister. Wishing I had 2 more minutes with you to give you a hug and ask you what kinda trouble your up to tonite? Miss Ya Buzz.................
 

I told you I was gonna do it and I did. The purchase is made and she is nice........Wish you were here to work on the 'stang' with me. Not the exact one we talked about but she is cute......All I ask is that you do not let me shake my mudslide bottle while its open this time....Miss ya BUZZ!!!!

Another Roger moment....Thinking today about the morning Lou and I were looking for you and you came in dripping wet...We asked what happened and you said you went to go fishing in the canoe and fell asleep ...The damn thing tipped over while you were sleeping and all you worried about was the lure you lost......Missing that sheepish grin mister.....

I cannot believe how much I miss you.  Every day...I hope you know how much I love you!  Forever in my heart Roger...Love Cheryl ;( 

As another day goes by I find myself texting you for no apparent reason but just to say hi and ask if you are going to have a beer. When someone gets your old number they will think that a few people are crazy in OOB. I am not sure if Dick or I will be on the top of that list?????Wow I am still amazed at the laughter I will not share with you although Dick does his best to deal with me. And you better have my 10$ when I get there cause a bet is a bet....But Dick hasn't paid either. To bad the Patriots didn't win.......Miss ya buddy!!!!!!

Ohhh, Rog - I am glad I was able to spend your last few hours with you and see your smiling face just as I did every day I worked!  You enjoyed yourself so much earlier that night, playing pool with Steve and Teri and that awful man I'd never seen before. . . you had such a good time just being your goofy self!  I mixed you one hell of a drink, my friend! :)  I thought wow, I'll have to cut back on the next one . . .  

You were loved by so many people - Whether it was a brief encounter or people you saw everyday - your infectious smile remains with us all.  How humble you were to not realize the love and happiness you spread and to not expect anything from anyone.  It's too bad not everyone can live life with the happiness you exuded!

By the way - I wanted to let you know that my sister Casey recently found the gift certificate to Bills Pizza you had given her one afternoon when she commented she wanted beer and pizza but only had five bucks...you overheard her say that and immediately took the gift certificate out of your pocket to give to her, even though you had already used part of b/c the original price was crossed out and your remaining balance was left! ... :)  You didn't think twice about giving it to her!  Let's just say, she won't be spending it now - it's a keepsake she'll have forever and hold it dear to her heart even though she just knew you in passing  at the bar- you touched her heart as you did so many others. 
  
I shared some memories with your daughter Kelsie, she's a lovely young woman.  I was sure to tell her how much I enjoyed your company and just how happy and loved you were.  Kelsie met Dick and she was touched by his stories of the two of you - he gave her a coin with her birth year on it! :)  

You are gone from The Whaler, and so am I.  I adored you, Rog.  I'm glad for the times I reached out and gave you a quick hug or patted you on the back - you always thanked me with the most sincerity!  I didn't give that kinda love to everyone, ya know!? :)  It seems like just last weekend on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, the bar wasn't that busy and you and I and a few other's, including Dick and Tommysan, were chillin' out on the patio - in between me running for beers and delivering patio service to you all :)  - we had a lot of laughs that day!  Keep rockin' those cutoff jeans just like your dad did!      

I'm going to miss the "Dick and Roger Show!"  Please watch out for all of us, and especially Dick -- he's misses you beyond words, just as we all do.  Keep roaming around his mom's yard with the garden hose on your head! :)  And when Dick catches trees on fire b/c his bonfire is too big, make sure to put those out for him!  

You'll be forever in our hearts, Roger!  May you Rest In Peace.

Miss and love ya!

Cheers,
Brandy XOXO      



  

  

Roger is a lifelong friend. Miss him? Oh you could say that. I loved him like a brother and in my heart he is just that. My wife and I were with him that night and as usual we had a damn good time. Roger and I were always trying to out-do each other in the laughs department, neither ever won. I feel very blessed to have been able to give him our usual hug, kiss and "Love you brother" before we left, as we always did. Here is a man who was not afraid of life or loving his friends. I cannot for the life of me, recall ever not enjoying his company. We were both pool hounds and relished getting in a game between us. He was one of those guys that always gave me a tough game, we played a lot alike and it showed. Miss him? Forever. I will miss his sense of humor, I will miss his laugh, I will miss his ability to take lifes displeasures in stride, I will miss playing bank the 8 in pool, I will miss the anticipation of maybe catching him at the Whaler, and laughing, joking, and enjoying each others company to the fullest. My life will always be missing something until the time comes that I can give him a hug, kiss, and "Love you brother" again. Roger, I love you my brother, always have and always will.



   

So the stories continue I want to share a little more about the man that I knew (or at least thought I knew) well. Roger made me laugh even at his own expense. One night while sitting by the fire out back he decided to get really philosophical. He had those moments a lot with me. He had just come out of the house and I didn't think much of it. He started to talk to me about this couple that had joined the peace corp and how they were helping to make the world a better place. So I listened for a little while and he kept on with his story. As he went to finish his story I assumed, he promptly missed the bench to the picnic table and landed on his butt on the ground. Instead of finishing his story he jumped up said that he was glad he didn't spill his beer and that he had just read everything he was telling me about in the Readers Digest in the bathroom. Hey Rog now I wish I would have read that story but I bet the ending they had was not as funny as the ending you made.

Roger, we will miss you more than you would ever know. You made me laugh so hard........I gave you my "happiness" card on my birthday. I hope you took that with you..see you next time my friend. xoxo

Rodger, you got me into walking. Just to walk and enjoy the world arround us. I am so thankful for the time we spent together walking out on little river.

I miss your,"Concockting" things in your crock-pot. When I get there, will you ,"Concocked us a meal?" God I miss you. I love you Rodge

Roger Albert White, 49, passed away unexpectedly on April 21, 2012 in Old Orchard Beach. Visiting hours will be held on Monday, April 30 from 5-7 p.m. at the Old Orchard Beach Funeral Home, 36 Portland Ave., Old Orchard Beach. Burial will be held at a later date at Laurel Hill Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Animal Welfare Society, P.O. Box 43, West Kennebunk, ME 04094.

There are so many memories of times spent with Roger, either from one side of the bar or the other.  For many years I would make Roger a valentine, like the ones we used to exchange in school, to give him on that day.  He would cherish it like I gave him a bar of gold! We had so many laughs.  Whenever he and Timmy Gardiner and/or Dick Tracy were together you knew something crazy was going on.  I will miss Roger so much and am proud to have had him for a friend.

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see.
If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we never got to say.

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you..
And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too..
But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand..
An angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
It seemed my place was ready - In Heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind, those things I dearly love..

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye.
For all of life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you..
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad..
I thought of all the love we shared, and how much fun we had..
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,
I'd say goodbye, then kiss you ‘til I saw that special smile..

But then I fully realized, that it could never be,
'Cause emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.
And when I thought of all those things, I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. .
But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, From his great & golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you.
Today your life on Earth is past, but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day is the same day, there's no longing for the past. .
But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true,
Though there were some times you did some things you shouldn't do. .

But you have been forgiven, and now at last you're free,
So come and take me by the hand, and share my life with me.."
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me, I'll be right there - in your Heart..

Rodger walked every day just for some thing to do and often invited me to join him. He loved to walk down by little river. We laughed our butts off evey where we went. What a character!

Thank you for making me laugh so darn hard I almost wet my self. You had a sense of humor that will be missed and cannot be replace.

Forever Roger ur infectious laughter and smiles I will hold dear in my heart-- may you b in peace on your continued journey of LIGHT,LAUGHTER,& LOVE!!---  God Bless ALL the memories you have left within us! ^j^ blessings~~  Connie B  <3

Very sad to see you left us so early
your memory we will hold onto forever dearly.

The good times we remember
and the days spent together
will be in our hearts forever.
You will surely be missed by many
Rest in peace Roger
