I’ve heard it said that our first friends are our cousins. In that case Roger was one of my first friends. Our parents were very close, getting together at each other’s home every Saturday night. While I’m not sure what our parents did, my sister and I and Roger and Charles would head to the basement to play. We were creative in the things we did. The Marshalls had a bowling set and we would bowl in their basement. We played music on a record player, played our own instruments, played with our toys and pretended many things. We made trains with chairs, taking tickets from each other or pretended we were in a circus. One of the most vivid memories I have of playing with Roger is when we wrote plays together, then practiced them before putting on the show for our parents.
Even after we were all married with families of our own i would hear how Roger was doing out in California from his mom, my beloved Aunt Millie. Time and distance can not erase those precious memories of a childhood spent with one of my closest cousins. He will be missed!

What words can I find to describe a man who shared my life for 24 years and created 3 beautiful children together? Roger and I met dancing the “bump!” We shared a love of music and the pursuit of happiness living the “good life!” Our first House was in Birmingham, Mi where we remodeled and created a beautiful home where our first daughter (Audrey) was born. We lived in LA briefly before children and discovered Mattel Toys Electronics as an employer. Soon we moved from Mi to Carlsbad, Ca where Roger ventured out with self employment and daughter Nora was born. We helped found Temple Solel in Encinitas, Ca where all our daughters were Bat Mitzvahed. We settled in Solana Beach, Ca where Susanna, our youngest daughter was born. Roger enjoyed working as an Engineer, but loved being a Father, forever taking the time to be kind, supportive, teaching and loving. He was a good friend to me, kind and supportive in my life. He will be missed.

I first met Roger when we were both 18 and I was dating his brother Chuck. A year later he was Charlie's best man at our wedding. The morning after the wedding he was at our hotel door at 5am with friends and pelted us with rice before driving us to the train station. I remember he had a lot of friends and liked to give parties. I also liked to hear him playing the organ and singing in his mother's basement, which he did often in those days. He was an easy going, kind and gentle person. I will miss him as will all who knew him.

I have wonderful memories of Roger when I was a child including when he taught me to play the piano, and played in the band with my Dad. He was always a fun and happy uncle. He will be greatly missed by all his family.

I'll always remember my Brother's wide brimming smile and upbeat good nature. There are so many memories of Roger, from our early youth when we shared a bedroom to his later life in California. Its hard to accept the reality that he is no longer with us. We love him and think of him everyday. His life was meaningful and touched the heart of many people, especially his family. He had a Happy Heart. May God be with you, Brother. See you again. Chuck

I miss you, Dad. You are my #1 cheerleader and confidant. My heart aches for all the moments you will miss. It’s just not fair.

My heart goes out to your family at this difficult time. I have known your dad since he was 19 years old. Your Aunt Linda is my sister. Roger and I were their best man and maid of honor. Your dad was always fun. We went to cedar point with Linda and chuck one summer. It was alot of fun. A couple times I went with Linda to watch your dad and uncle chuck in their band swinging Safaris.They we're really good. I was just a teenager then,so it was a big deal for me to know the band. I also have fond memories of playing games at your Grandma's house on New Year's Eve when he came into town. He will be missed but his memory will live in all of us. Sincerely Jo
