I was very sorry to hear of Roger's passing. You have our sympathy. I have very pleasant memories of working with Roger and pheasant hunting. He leaves behind a family he was very proud of.

So sorry to hear of Roger's passing. As a high school classmate of Tim's and one of Tim's college roommates and lifelong friends, I heard a lot about 'Rog' over the years and enjoyed the few times I had a chance to visit with him. I know he will be dearly missed.

My family sends our thoughts and prayers to all of you. May Roger rest in peace.

Roger and I were colleagues while working at WPL in the Consumer Services Dept. I had a lot of respect for his opinions, and although he and I didn't always agree on things, we always got along. He had an infectious laugh that I still remember, and a way of bringing things into focus during disagreements about an issue.

We took a couple of business trips together, but one that will always stand out is a conference in Chicago. We managed to slip away for a bit to the race track at Arlington Park, and frittered away a couple of dollars on those nags. I think he finally hit it big on the last race, and ended up breaking even for the day. I was not that fortunate.

Roger, Ed Swanson, Betsy Benson, and I all worked for Dale Moody during those times, and we had a good working relationship. I wish all of my assignments had been as much fun.
