Roger was a great neighbor. I’ll miss his laugh and smart whit. I’m so sorry for your loss Alfonzo.
I have many fond memories of those days at Hunters Books, and Roger was a huge part of that. He was a joy to work with. My condolences to Alphonzo, to Roger’s family, and to all those who will miss him.
I worked with Roger at Hunter’s Books in Bellevue Square from 1978 til March of 1983. I remember Roger’s calmness when the owner of the store would come for visits. We had fun with High Tea and Roger brought in a beautiful teapot. I will miss him.

I was trying to find you Rodger. I think of you often and the fun we had as little kids. You will be missed.
