Roger was a good classmate, a great friend and a loving and caring person. He will be missed by all who knew him.
The St. Leonard Peace Garden will miss his daily cleanup.
Rest in Peace Roger!
Roger was a truly wonderful person and a great athlete. I watched him play basketball for the old Christie Club in the Senior Park League where teams from the various Boston neighborhoods played each other. The teams from Roxbury and Mattapan probably had more talent and were certainly taller but the scrappy North Enders, led by Roger, won a lot of games.
Condolences to Lillian & Aleta.
