Thank you, Roger, for showing us how one should live. You were always there for us. You showed up. In good times and bad. You cared. You called. You worked even when you were sick. You traveled. You took time to visit. You tried to keep our whole family together by your calls and concern. You loved us. And we love you. You lived each day to the fullest. Thank you. Until we meet again.

Scott and Brad – I am very sorry to hear about your Dad. I always thought Roger was such a nice guy, and enjoyed talking with him when I would see him. I hope you and your family are well.
Condolences to the Horton family, Roger you always wanted to be the best you could be and you were. We had our days hunting and playing football, we were ten feet tall and bullet proof back in high school. Our brothers, Gary and Tim, were best of friends too, we took our cue from them. My world is smaller with you being gone, wait for me at the pearly gates and we will pick up where we left off, love you bro.
