Matt and Vicky:

I attended school with Roger. Our class had their 30-year reunion this past summer. I spoke with Roger while planning that, and thought I had convinced him to attend, even in his condition. However, he did not come. I sorely wish he would have, I would like to have seen him one last time. As I hadn't seen Roger since probably 1984, Matt, we've never met. However, he always spoke proudly of you when we talked on the phone. I miss him already, as I know you do, also. Roger is at peace now, I just hope you have some consolation in that. Thoughts and prayers for your solace and your future. Neil

Hey Matt, We are so sorry for your great loss. Your dad was a neat guy. He will be missed by a lot of people. He touched many lives. I always liked how he would call Darcie "hey little missy". He also did a great job with you guys when he coached your baseball teams. I am sure you have already heard this from numerous family and friends but please call on us any time you need help with anything. Matt, your dad was very proud of you and your achievements. I was happy for him that he was able to watch your high school graduation and I was hopeful he would still be here to watch you graduate from college. I am sure he will be there too in spirit. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care Matt.
