    I had come to visit two special friends Dylan and Courtney on the 4th of July one year in Butte. It was early evening and the sky was vibrant with anticipation. Through the maze of streets I had finally come close to a house that was in a full acoustical romp! The music had guided me to the house! That is when I first met Roger. His smile was magmatic and his eyes were dancing. It was a special night with laughter, stories, and music. I felt lucky to have met this wonderful man, and to be in the midst of so many of his friends and family. Thank you Roger for sharing your muse with me, and every life that you touched through your words, and music. I know you will be greatly missed by many. However, I’m confident, this next leg of your journey will be even more vivid and colorful. Not to mention full of lively music.

    I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to all of Roger’s family and friends. You are all in my prayers.

    Wow Roger! “What a ride!” I know one thing out of everyone I’ve known in my whole life you lived your life to the fullest and more. If all of us could be the kind of man you were this world would be a wonderful place. I loved your music, art and especially your humor. It’s hard for all of us to say goodbye so we’ll just say, “Keep a place by the river and bonfire for us.” Sunni, Dylan and family we send you our prayers and hugs for PEACE. Love yas, Nan and Ron

ROGER, YOU ADDED SUCH AN INCREDIBLE AND UNIQUE PIECE OF FABRIC TO THE QUILT OF OUR LIFE….ALWAYS WARM, COLORFUL, AUTHENTIC, NEVER TO BE DUPLICATED. AS YOU KNOW, JOE FLEW OVER THE RAINBOW NOT LONG AGO; I KNOW HE WILL BE DELIGHTED TO WELCOME YOU TO THAT FAR, FAR, BETTER PLACE. I HOPE I CAN JOIN YOU SOON TOO!
