I met Roger briefly when I was visiting Sarasota. I was a morning swimmer and he had the lane next to me. He was welcomming, chatty and a wonderful addition to the mornings of my brief visit.  He is truly someone who made the world a little better by just being bright and shiny. I'm glad for the brief time that we met enjoying our love for the water and life.

I’m very sorry to hear about Roger’s passing. He was a gym buddy of mine. He would always give me an enthusiastic wave and we’d talk about his work, family, and even English sayings. I’ll definitely miss seeing his smile.

So Sorry and sad to hear this! 
Roger was an incredibly vibrant person with so much energy and made everyone laugh with his wit!
I have known him for so many years and even though I haven’t seen him for some while, I will really miss 
him! My heart goes out to Primi Tahlia, Cassian and his family! 
With much love
Clare and Sukh X

So grateful to have been creatively connected with the beautiful Roger by my cousin Bill Gold.   I pitched a TV show to Roger over the phone and it began a wonderful creative journey that Roger supported and helped me with.  He was the most wonderful happy bright and interesting soul. Not only was Roger a true genuine gem but he introduced us to his lovely daughter Tahlia who offered help when we needed legal advice.  You see, the thing about Roger, was that he was a connector.  If he could help, he would.  I only met him once in person but it feels like I have known him a lifetime.  I send love and light to his beautiful family.  Roger's amazing creative energy will stay alive forever.  xxx

So sorry to hear the news about Roger.  Sending love and hugs to you all xx

Dear Primi
I’m still sort of in shock.  I won’t ask you how you are doing because you will be walking around inside a cloud and won’t know how to answer.  
Having experienced that depth of grieving I know it’s not what one says that makes a difference, People often don’t know what to say. It’s really that they just say something.
You of all people know just how BIG a persona Roger was.  He will leave behind a hole equally as large.  All those thousands who knew him will be telling stories for years and years and years.  No one will forget him.  Bob and I consider it to be one of the pleasures of our lives having met you both.  And, neither of us can walk by the WW Bay pool without glancing over to ‘your’ chairs and umbrella.  I had just taken such a photo that I was going to forward to you but, when I looked it really wasn’t very good.
   
Tears of empathy for you Primi and for your daughter, son and family. 
Hugs
Bob and Denise Reynolds
