You will be in our hearts forever Daddy. Thank you for teaching me how to ride my bicycle even though you forgot to tell me how to use the brakes before you let go, life's been a great ride ever since. There's just no way to say goodbye, so 'til we meet again...

I knew Roger all through high school. We graduated the same year,1964. When I worked at Madera Glass Co., he was a security guard for a short time. I would sneak out during my lunch break to talk to him. We would laugh about our high school days. I didn't see Roger after his days at the glass plant. I will miss him very much.
