Dear Brother,
I think of you often and miss your phone calls, jokes, and the numerous conversations covering everything from relationships to politics. I wish you were here and could give me a call. There is so much to discuss. I look forward to seeing you again when our Lord comes for us believers. Love always

It has taken me a while to decide what I want to say. You don’t really realize what you had until it’s gone. My Grandpa Rodger always was happy and uplifting. If I needed a babysitter, he was there, If I was sick at school, he would be there. If I wanted someone to read my story’s or see my drawings, he was there. Although he may have been mean sometimes, I wish I could go back in time. His words and wisdom would have helped me at some of my lowest points. I miss the times when he was just there. He used to tell me that he would be there when I had kids and take the, to steak and shake too. I remember his old car and how one day we would take a road trip to the Smokey mountains. Also when he was older and I was president, he would have a room in the White House and we would have Steak and Shake on Wednesdays. He would always be encouraging. He would help me out with homework and spelling tests. I will forever be greatful for the time we spent together, I wish I could just have 5 minutes to talk to you and hug you. I love you so much I miss you, old friend. I will see you sometime again.

So sorry for your loss Matt and Andy. Losing a parent is by far one of the biggest blows life can hand us: with me having lost both of mine, I can’t say you get over it because you never will, but it does get easier if you try to think of positives like these pictures show! I didn’t know about the service or I would have made it. If there’s anything I can do please let me know. RIP Uncle Rodger, until we meet again.

"Pawpaw" Rodger you will be missed dearly! Although I was not his biological granddaughter, he never skipped a beat when I was around or got the chance. Pawpaw Rodger was the one who took me into the St. Louis Arch. One of the best memories I will have to cherish forever! Pawpaw was one of the kindest men you could have been blessed to cross paths with! I wish I could have been there not only for the family, but to pay my respects. Fly high sweet angel! We love you and will forever miss you

Roger will definitely be dearly missed. Know with all my heart he loved all his family and cherished the time he spend with them. He truly had a kind heart. Mark will definitely miss there frequent phone conversation, even if neither of them had much news to report, he enjoyed their visits. Roger was always kind to me and I will miss his visits as well.

It's amazing the weight of losing a parent. The clarity that happens at the flip of a switch is simply indescribable. The realization that no one is truly on your side or in your corner, offering support, and cheering on your success at the level your parent does is both comforting and humbling while at the same time earth shattering.
The ability to review your lifetime of interactions, almost as if on replay and in 3rd person view, is instantaneous. The weight of regret of things good and bad is tremendous. Reflecting on miscommunications, disagreements, and things that should have been avoided, left unspoken or resolved completely different is all too real. The thoughts of missed opportunities to connect, things left unexpressed, allowing the world to take over, excuses of your "all too busy" life and not having the ability to get those moments back becomes overwhelming with the click of a second hand on the clock.
Your mind races with "what ifs"...constantly.
Things you took for granted from the incessant texts to the subsequent phone calls go from being an irritant to the most priceless, missed and underappreciated things in the world. You'd give anything for just, one more interaction.
You are amazed by all the things that trigger thought, memories, happiness and tears. Inanimate objects, sights, sounds...even smells now have feelings associated with them you've never experienced before. And I assure you, these are not the things you would think they would be. It's all the little things. Your glasses, your wrist watch, an old pocket knife. The sweater we have chosen for you today.... these are the things that matter.
Among all of the things I have learned from you along the way. Some in how to be, others maybe even in how not to be. You still managed to leave me one more lesson. Quite honestly I think it’s the most powerful one yet dad.
You see in losing you, you've brought me clarity and added perspective in a way I don't believe anyone can truly have until they experience this level of loss. I wish that this was something that could be conveyed to someone without such a hefty price tag, but I am grateful none the less. So for all the things you have done, all the things you have said, all the lessons you have given me, Thank you Dad.
Thank you for helping me become the man I am and for pushing me grow to be. I love you Dad, I hope you were, are, and continue to be proud of me.
Your Son,
Andy
