Just saw this obit so sorry for the late note. Went to grade school and high school with Roger. We were good friends back then and played in the band and on the basketball team at Hiawatha, then went on to Morton West H.S.  Lost track of him after that, but sometimes read about his exploits at the Little Red Schoolhouse. Ironic, cause we took at least one, maybe two trips there from grade school and really enjoyed it. So Roger got to live out his dream job there and then being a train engineer, can't beat that! My condolences to you and all of the family.  Best wishes, Jon

I will greatly miss Roger. He was a wonderful curious, and interesting naturalist. When I was working as a fellow naturalist with Roger, I always knew when I was talking to Roger I would hear interesting and uplifting words come from his mouth. Never did I hear him speak in anger or hate of anyone. There was a time when he handed me a completely dull chainsaw to cut down a tree and he kept asking me about a missing Increment Borer that is used to age trees. I dont remember using it. but if I did lose it, I appologize. He knows what happened to it now. There was another time where Zach and Travis helped my wife and I run a Lemon Shake up stand at the Octeober Art Fair. We were so unprepared with the crowd. Sure we had enough sqeezed lemons and sugar for the event, but we couldn't handle all the money that came in selling lemon shake ups. We had all of our pockets stuffed to bursting with money...Ha!
Roger played a great harmonica with the musical group that came to the festival every year and his slide show of his time in Vietnam were incredible. We at the Little Red Schoolhouse all respected him and enjoyed him being with our family there. Until we see each other again... 

Dear Brother,
Already, I deeply miss you 
Love,  Brother John
