Rodger was a great friend, cheerful and chatty and never complained and a wonderful witness for Jesus.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Janice and Lindsay at this time.

Rodger was a high school friend of my older siblings but was always very kind to me. We later met as adults through different events. Very sorry for your loss. Sadly not able to attend the funeral as out of the country. Thinking of you.

Fond memories of a kind man with a heart of gold. He was friends with my older siblings but I remember him when I was little. RIP Rodger.
