ROGER WAS ALWAYS A HAPPY PERSON! EVERYTIME I SEEN HIM HE WAS SMILING OR LAUGHING ABOUT SOMETHING! I’M SO GLAD TO HAVE HAD HIM FOR A FRIEND& FAMILY MEMBER! LOVE & HUGS TO ALL OF HIS FAMILY! STEPHANIE MALPASS
Roger always had a smile on his face. Most of the time, it was more like a grin that made you wonder what he was up to, which usually meant he was getting ready to tell you a joke or play a trick on you. Roger and his family were good friends and neighbors of Bill and I for many years. He was a good person to be around and quick to lend a hand to help out any way he could, even with babysitting. Although, I think Cheryl did more of that than he did, lol. He was the kind of friend that whether you talked every day or years passed, you always picked up where you left off without missing a beat. He never treated you any different. That’s a rare quality and one we will surely miss. Heartfelt prayers go out to Cheryl, Dale, Leon, Denise, Terrie and Monk from the Benson family.
