We are going to miss you Roger. We have known you almost our whole lives. As we sifted through the photos it was a blessing to see all the fun we had through almost 40 years of friendship. From hunting,(BAHA-Pomatto!) fishing-both boat and especially ice fishing trips to Lake Frances, (man, those were the DAYS!!), to all the Christmas party’s, New Years party’s, and hey, lets not forget horseshoes at Papa Ray’s! So many pictures, and so many great memories. Rest in Peace my friend…say Hi to the old man.
Love, Scott, Irene, Erica and Darren.
