Terry, I am sorry to hear of your loss. I will always remember Roger from the first time you guys fished with me. After we put one or two fish in the boat he asked me if we could release the rest of the fish we catch. We used to spend quite a few hours at the harbor talking fishing. I found a picture of the fish he did let us keep that day. May God bless you and your family.

Dear Terry, so very sorry for your loss. I spoke briefly to Roger after Tim's service and he seemed encouraged about his condition so I was very surprised when I received the news from Vicki. My sincere sympathy to you and your family. Ken Scott.

Terry.
I have been praying for Roger and your family for months.
We had some great times in Grindstone, and Roger and I had fun at Lake Simcoe over the years. He was truely a great friend, and I will think about him when fishing, expecially ice fishing. We caught lots of jumbo perch together.

So sorry for your loss, Roger was a great man who could light up a room with his smile and jokes. I have many fond memories of the family up north in Grindstone City fishing and hanging out along with bowling at Classic Lanes... He is missed.. RIP Roger. The Zatorski Family.

The last time I spoke with Roger I told him there are 2 things I know about Heaven with certainty. The fish are always biting. And the instant you get there Heaven will become an even nicer place.
Terry, Ryan, Amanda, Mel and Shirley; words cant express our sorrow for all of you. He was a good man and I will miss him terribly. His fight was valiant and inspiring.
It was my privilege to be his friend.
