So sorry to hear of Rogers passing. He was a very good friend to us both in High School. We have a lot of fond memories of him. He was always very good to everyone. We had lots of good times with him and his beautiful purple shag carpeted van! Our thoughts and prayers will be with his family. It sounded like he was very happy. We would have loved to have seen him again. We live right here in Jackson too....Last time we saw him, he was living in Grass Lake and then we just never saw him again. Would have loved to go and seen him in the Hospital, Ron works there, Wish we would have known.....God Bless you all.

So sorry to hear of Roger's passing.
We went to school together and when I worked at the pharmacy, we had reconnected and I enjoyed our chats, as Roger waited on his scripts.
My prayers and thoughts are with the family.
