I first met Roger  and his Father at Rohbom  Appliance where they sold my washers and dryers manufactured by Speed Queen. They introduced me to the value of 10 second adds on the radio. Their phone number was 7817871. We built the sales with those 10 second adds.  Rogers father came off as a hard man to deal with. But he and Roger and I got to liking each other.
I am sitting  in our court yard here in Tempe, Az. talking to my wife and I thought of Roger. 
What a shock. 
Our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Doris,

Hi, Andy and Gaile here from 1992 I stumbled on Rogers passing today February 10, 2015 and we are soooo sorry to hear this.  I am delighted to have spoken with Roger prior to this and had a good laugh about the times you were on board our catamaran all those years ago. Now the image I have of both of you in your hot tub during the snow is not real anymore. So sorry.

Doris, I wish I'd thought to place the photo of you and Roger sharing our short honeymoon and attending our wedding at the Missouri State Fair Grounds.  I sent that in your card left at the service.  God has been a serious part of your lives and I've been blessed with my illness.  Keep God to assist with Mom Ruth.  Since Pop and Nana lost our Ashlyn 3 years ago, it was heartily painful so I pray for Ruth and you, Sis.  Hope you'll enjoy your photo sent with your card.  Rog left 1 day after Ashlyn's birthday that we still get together with Troy and Jen on that date.  Love you and Rog forever and pray to be with you later, Sis...

Doris, I was so sorry to hear about Roger. My deepest sympathy. I only met him twice and thought he was a great guy and saw how much he loved you.  Take care,   Doris Hoschouer Hawkins

Doris, Connie and I are so sorry. She saw the DP piece and wanted me to look this up. Rog and you were good friends in RMOS and my Dad was nearby in the 50's in early 60's. Headed for a dive in Baja tomorrow. We will be thinking of you all. Rog loved his dives. 
Jim & Connie Bull

Goodbye Nephew until we meet again.

It is with deep sympathy I offer my condolences to the family of Roger Robohm. During his business years in Englewood I purchased several major appliances from him, some still in use in my home. Every time I dealt with him he was extremely cordial and always fair to me. Some days I just enjoyed going into his store and visiting with him. He was always supportive of Englewood activities.  He will be missed.

He was one of our best customers.  very kind.  Loved to hear of all their travels.
He will be missed.  Anne Asher and Ruth Herrick (Republic National Bank)

Uncle Roger had a unique grift to always make us laugh. I will forever cherish our last visit at mom and dads and the 12 hours we sat outside laughing! Rest in peace.

My family lived on Sherman in Englewood, near the Robohm family.  My condolences to the family. My sister Sharon passed in 1995 and my brother Dennis passed this past August.  I am Nancy the last of the Hoagland family.  I remember the appliance store on Broadway where I bought my mother her first electric mixer on a payment plan that Ruth allowed me to pay with my allowance.  They were all such wonderful people and my prayers are with all of you at your time of loss.

Roger was the best brother-in-law anyone could ask for. He was always making people laugh. You will be dearly missed !!! RIP!!!!

Roger will be missed by his family and for all the lives he touched, I will always remember the kindness he showed to everyone and his great humor, and thanks for letting me be your Brother-inlaw

we will miss rogers kindness his willing to help others and that great personality. He will be missed.
