Miss you every year my dear Uncle Roger. May you be resting in peace with Our Lord Jesus Christ. We love you.

Rest in Peace Uncle Roger. You are greatly missed - Lari

Dear Eileen and Family,

Words will never be able to express my condolences. Roger was a beautiful soul in this world and Eileen you are his perfect angelic half.

Everyone one at PCC including myself will feel the loss of his presence for a long time. 

He was a bright, shinning light and I will greatly miss him! 

I first met Roger over the phone, and within the first few seconds of speaking to him I knew he was going to be one of my favorites. When I met him in person a few months later, I was immediately sucked in to his warm presence. His kind and joyful demeanor was remarkable. He had the most gentle  presence and the one thing that stood out to me was his love for his wife, Eileen. She is all he talked about. I was lucky enough to have dinner with Roger and Eileen and quickly realized why. Their love was palpable. The two of them were a wonderful example of pure love.

You will all be in my thoughts for some time.

I met Roger over the course of his many calls to PCC Support. It was always a delight to hear his voice, knowing the conversation would be threaded with his kindness and quirky sense of humor. I am marked by his devotion to his community, and warmed to read so many stories of his caring nature. Eileen and family, I wish you peace and healing in this difficult time. Your friends in Vermont are holding deep space for you in our hearts. Roger, here's wishing you an eternity of peace, chuckles, and fantastic costumes.

I am a member of Westside Welcome and a friend of Eileen’s. I am saddened that she has lost Roger and wish to express my condolences. At the moment, I’m out of town so I’m reaching out to let you know Eileen I’m here for you.,

Hey there, I wanted to express my sympathy and my condolences to the family of Roger. 
My name is Scott Hovis and although we aren’t related (as far as I know), I remember seeing him at my doctors office as a teenager whenever I’d go to an appointment. My name would be called and he would step out of his office to say hi because there we had never met anyone in El Paso with the same last name. I only got to speak to him a few times. I heard about his passing in the newspaper today; very sad to hear. 
May God rest his soul and God Bless the entire family as well.

Roger My awesome brother! Loved his family dearly! Smart  funny and  brave .Left us great memories!  Momma met him  at the  gates of  heaven. They watch over us together now.  .We will miss him , Roger stays in my heart forever

Roger is my brother. There is a missing part in my heart that can never be filled.

We met Roger in the early 1980's.  A great friend to all of this gang ever since.  RIP dear friend.

Dear Eileen and Family,

We are truly sorry for your loss. It didn't take long for us to see that Roger was an incredible person. He had this unique blend of humor, kindness, and generosity that touched everyone he met. He was not only a pillar of the community but also an exceptional husband, father, and grandfather. The love he had for you, Eileen, and his children and grandchildren was something he talked about with such pride and warmth.

In times like these, we can find comfort in the words of the Bible, which remind us of the eternal nature of love and the hope of a future reunion. Here's a Bible verse that may offer some solace:

1 Corinthians 13:7-8a :
"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends."

This verse beautifully captures the enduring power of love, which Roger radiated in abundance. His love and contributions to your family and community will be treasured forever.

During this challenging time, may you find strength and support in each other and in your faith. Lean on the wonderful memories you've shared, and know that Roger's spirit lives on in the hearts of all those he touched. It was truly an honor to know him for the time that we did. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you navigate this journey of grief and remembrance.

You are in our thoughts and prayers

You always loved a good party to dress up for. I truly will miss your laugh, smile and kindness

So happy I got to see you this July. Will miss you very very much

Grandpa Roger ( who loved his anchovies and peanut butter with cheese), to say we are going to miss is an understatement.
 Your presence brought so much joy to the home every time you visited. You always made us laugh by telling funny jokes and when you would do your happy dance.  
You showed us your love when you took us to the park, played board games, and made us arroz con leche in the morning. We have many happy memories to look back on. We are going to miss you Grandpa. We love you ❤️

Always the best smile and lit up the room everywhere you went.  Love- Lisa Wilson and the PedsOne family

Roger, I will dearly miss you my friend.  I talked to you everyday, and you were there for me both in work and personal.  Love- Lisa Wilson and the PedsOne family.

To my dearest Nina Eileen and family, my Uncle Roger will always be in my prayers. He brought light into our lives and we loved him. My prayers are with all of you. Love, Lari

Mr. Hovis  always made sure the kids had pictures with Santa , hot chocolate , cookies and books to read from Santa!

Roger,

what an honor and a blessing to have known you.  You and Eileen were among the first couples we met at St. Stephen back in 2006.  Thank you for always being a friend and for those crazy times we all had together.   
Sending condolences to your family.

Love Pat and Cathy Cottman
