    My heart goes out to all who knew and loved Roger. Martha you two had a great marriage and raised terrific kids. Your home was open to all. I remember when he used to gripe about my hugs, Then call me back for one when I headed down to my dad's when dad was dying. Bark and bite syndrome. My deepest condolences and I know you will all stick together for each other. Love and of course Hugs, Lee
