As long as he was laughing, living and traveling, he was happy. He loved everybody he came in contact with and everybody loved him. The old saying "He never met a stranger." definitely applied to Roger and his life.

　　His last few years of life were in hospital at least 10­15 days a month, sometimes more. Two weeks before he passed away, I spoke with him on the phone, and even then he managed to tell jokes about life.

　　I know he left this world happily; he refused to allow anything or anyone to hold him down, even his severe illnesses. He is definitely a model when it comes to not allowing any situation to keep you from moving forward in life.

　　I will forever miss his smile and his love for life. My cousin Roger knew the true meaning of the phrase "live, love and laugh".
