A visit to the scene of the accident

On Thursday, Oct. 14th, Roger's six sons, Kol, Jon, Josh, Mark, Ben and Steve and his son-in-law, Jason went to the scene of the accident to put up a cross in Roger's honor. Here are the photos from this visit.

  1. This was a great story posted last Thursday. Beautifully written and recounts some of the wonderful remarks made about Roger at the Monday funeral service.
