Dear Joni and Christine, What a shock for you and all of us. I just had dinner with Roger last Wednesday and to find out that he has gone on is devastating. I spent many hours working with Roger and got be as close with him as any customer I have ever had. He always lit up when talking about the both of you. You,and his son in law Chris, were his circle. I wish you all the best at this very difficult time. I am sorry that I can’t be with you this weekend but I will hold an Irish wake in honor of my dear friend Mr. Quinn. Greive not, nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you. I loved you so, twas heaven here with you. (An Irish Blessing on Roger). Jack McKenna
Roger was a classmate and was a friend to all, even those not fitting into his familiar group of friends. He always had a smile and was fun to be around. I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing and will keep the family in my thoughts and prayers.
Rest in peace brother…a great friend who will be greatly missed. I still remember the episode with the wingtip shoes. Those were good times.
Joni and Christine – I am at loss of words in the passing of Roger. I am the oldest of the Cooper cousins and Roger was the youngest. With heavy heart I write this, but sending my love to you in your loss. May the Lord bless and keep you close. Love to you. Doris Ellen
