My sympathy to the family with this loss! May God comfort you in the days ahead during this time. I always like Roger, remember going out to ride with him when he was a state trooper. He had a great sense of humor and was a really nice guy. I want to thank him for his service to our nation in the military and with the NCSHP, serving different communities over the years.
