Not sure where to start with Roger….my SHO, SpR, consultant colleague…… such a lovely person….. we’re all devastated here at Imperial…. I’m sure there are many units who were fortunate to have Roger with them who will be grieving today…. Truly missed

Gutted!

Sincere condolences to his wife, family and work colleagues who will feel the loss of this great character all the more.

RIP Roger

I am saddened by this loss of a kind, polite and thoughtful surgeon. I remember him as one of the registrars in Chelmsford and was a delight to work with. My most recent memory of him is when I saw him at the BAPRAS meeting in Bournemouth about two years and he was still his pleasant self and we briefly chatted about consultant life . He is definitely gone too soon. Great destiny cut short by the wicked pangs of death . May God console his wife and family. May his soul rest in peace. Adieu Roger.

I can not believe that Roger is not with us. Last month we operated together on a case of Caesarean scar endometriosis and Roger told me how he enjoyed working with colleagues from other specialties. He told me that we should do more of these cases together and become a referral centre for such cases. Roger always had such a very positive approach towards life and work. Whenever I operated with him, I learned something new- surgical skills, where to go on holiday..etc. He told me how he carried his Alexa with him and enjoyed his music while operating and that I should do the same.
An excellent colleague, a very skilled surgeon and a fantastic human being- Roger you will be missed!

Great loss to all of us , family and patients .
May his soul rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Mr Adlard. I will always remember his sense of humour, patience and approachable nature. We would talk about hand surgery sometimes, but more often pub trivia, bad music or a shared love for Das Boot. I know the loss to the department and to his family will be hard to bear. I hope to be able to emulate some of his many qualities; he will be truly missed.

Very sorry to hear the news. A great surgeon and great teacher....you will be missed..my prayers for you !

So sorry to hear of Roger’s passing. My condolences to Julie and his family. Roger will be greatly missed.

I have the best memories of Roger, always the funniest and the kindest, always happy to help. A very special person whom we were lucky enough to call a colleague and friend.

What a great and sudden loss! He was one of the nicest men I have ever met. Always ready with an amusing anecdote or observation, I echo a lot of people who have commented on how much he made them laugh. I am shocked at his passing. He was far too young. A great colleague has been taken from us too soon.

A loss of the friendliest and funniest of plastic surgeons, and one of the greatest colleagues that I trained with. RIP Roger.

Department will never be the same without our Roger. The finest of us has gone. A true gentleman, adored doctor, colleague, friend ... Who will make our group laugh now ? Will miss you forever

So young ….. too soon to go
Our heart felt condolences to family and friends
May his soul rest in peace

One of the funniest people I have ever known. Always made me laugh! 

Will miss our political banter on FB! 

RIP Roger, you will be greatly missed.

It’s so sad to hear about Roger’s sudden passing away from this mortal World. Whenever I met which has been more often recently always found him smiling & very courteous. A great Hand / Plastic surgeon is gone forever ! Praying he rest in peace & his family able to bear this loss.

I am shocked, and I feel such a great sadness!
He was the loveliest person and it was a real pleasure to work with him. I will always remember his stories, the “indalo” symbol on his car, and I will never forget his constant smile.
