Dear Marion, Caspar, Hedley, Victoria, Claudia, Celeste, Meredith, Jocasta and Oscar The day Caspar and Victoria chose our road to live in we had no idea what was in store for us – what an ‘all action can-do’ family. From reading all the many tributes Roger had no small part to play in encouraging this wonderful attitude. We had the pleasure of spending time with Roger at various celebrations and events in Bristol and Cheltenham and – following an alcohol-fuelled evening with Caspar and Victoria when they encouraged us to take a holiday across the world – New Zealand too. Our family found Roger to be a great listener. He appeared tremendously interested in what we all (including our children) had to say and always gave an encouraging response. Reading the fantastic stories has been fascinating – I only wish we’d known Roger longer and had quizzed him more on all his adventures. The last time we saw Roger was at an event showcasing what can be achieved if you have unswerving determination and ambition – the London Olympics – how fitting. Thinking of you all. Love Sally, Alastair, Chloe and Oliver xxxx
