Dear Marion it was such a shock to hear this sad news. Roger was the most kind selfless, generous and gentle man it was such a privilege and pleasure to know him. He was always so interested in what was happening in my life and would ask to hear ‘all my gossip’ and how my children were. Netty and Naomi have fond memories of when they were very small, helping him to feed the fish, him showing them how to play the piano and how he would talk with them and be interested in them, he made sure they had fun whenever we visited. He was always so encouraging. His love of life, people and all things was so inspiring, from his sailing stories to showing me his beekeeping, with the rather delicious samples he would send home with me! He will be so missed, Roger Netty Naomi and I will never forget him. Sending you all our love and prayers
